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. WVDOT 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. 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. The Carter Bridge is the most heavily travelled bridge in West Virginia, and these improvements will positively impact the commutes of countless West Virginians. The construction of Corridor H also remains one of my top priorities and will transform the movement of people and goods across our state. As Chairman of the Environment and Public Works Committee, I was proud to secure these funds for two vital West Virginia projects, and I will continue to fight for federal funding to support the development and modernization of our infrastructure so that West Virginian families, first responders, and businesses can move more easily across our beautiful state,” Chairman Capito said. # # # | 1 | 2026-07-02T06:20:02Z | 2026-07-02T06:21:32Z |
