WVDOH to pave more than 70 roads in NCWV

BRIDGEPORT, W.Va (WDTV) – The West Virginia Division of Highways has announced that their crews will be paving more than 70 roads in North Central West Virginia.

Roads will be paved throughout Doddridge, Harrison, Marion, Monongalia, Preston and Taylor counties, which make up WVDOH District 4, officials said.

Some of the roads being paved include sections of W.Va. Route 18 North and Smithton Road in Doddridge County, sections of U.S. Route 19 near Good Hope and several roads in the Country Club community in Harrison County, parts of W.Va. Route 857 and W.Va. Route 705 in Monongalia County, parts of U.S. Route 250 and Monumental Road in Marion County, and sections of U.S. Route 50 in Taylor and Preston counties.

The district has been allotted over $18 million for this road work.

The project is a result of a $150 million supplemental budget appropriation provided by Governor Jim Justice and the West Virginia Legislature. Justice approved the funding on May 30th with the signing of Senate Bill 1002.

“District 4 is excited to announce that this paving season has a record-breaking 70-plus roads slated to be paved,” said District 4 Manager Earl Gaskins. “With this year’s allotment of over $18 million, District 4 is able to achieve an unprecedented amount of road work in our immediate area.”
