Has anyone heard more on the Mileground? Did they finally buy the property they need? It's almost a year behind schedule now.

Did they finally finish Jerry West/Mon Blvd yet?

I think they shortchanged us a lane compared to the plan, but it's finished.

They shorted us a lane there so they would have the money to add 2 extra lanes on their roadway in Beckley.

Go past 705 on Mon Blvd. though and there are potholes big enough to swallow a tire there.

Yep.

Time to outsource WV highways maintenance and make more of the decision making local.

Wait so the turn lane they promised didn't happen? Wow.

Some bridge project was awarded today and the expected start date is August 15th. It is probably either the Star City Exit bridges or the UTC/West Ridge bridge project.

UTC/West Ridge bridge project? What is this?

They are going to redo the entire new exit and possibly add small wings on to the new bridge to make it a diverging diamond interchange.
