WVDOT receives over $47 million for infrastructure improvements
On July 1, 2026, U.S. Senator Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.), Chairman of the Senate Environment and Public Works (EPW) Committee, announced more than $47 million in funding through the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Better Utilizing Investments to Leverage Development grant program. This grant funding for the West Virginia Department of Transportation (WVDOT) includes $23 million for the Corridor H – Waites Run to Virginia State Line Project, which would support the completion of construction work along 3.7 miles of the Corridor H expressway from Waites Run to the Virginia state line. The department also received $24 million to support repairs on the Eugene A. Carter Memorial Bridge on Interstate 64 in Kanawha County.
“I am very pleased to announce this latest funding for WVDOT, which will help complete two essential projects for transportation and commerce in West Virginia,” said Capito. “Both the improvements to the Eugene A. Carter Bridge in Kanawha County and the construction of Corridor H in Hardy County play key roles in the present and future connectivity of our state.”
