West Virginia sets plans for major bridge renovations
West Virginia Department of Transportation (WVDOT) awarded contracts to start renovations of four interstate bridges on Interstate 77 in Charleston. More than 35 bridges in the Charleston area are slated for repairs. $11,545,000 was awarded to renovate the Stadium Place Bridge, Greenbrier Street Bridge, Greenbrier Street Underpass and Booker T. Washington Bridge on I-77. The bridges will receive new deck overlays and minor structural repairs.
“Taking good care of our existing transportation network is a great investment into the future of West Virginia,” said Transportation Secretary Todd Rumbaugh. “We’d ask the folks who’ll be traveling through this construction work zone, or any work zone, regardless of location to slow down and pay attention. Someone’s son or daughter is trying to make a living on that road. Let’s make sure they get home safely.”
