Bluefield Bureau backs Stoney Ridge I-73 74 route
The Bluestone Convention and Visitors Bureau voted unanimously to endorse the Stoney Ridge corridor through Mercer County, signaling support for I-73 74 as part of the Charleston to Detroit route. The group cited access near Mercer County Airport and Mercer Mall and alignment with the 1991 federal highway plan. West Virginia began I-73 work with a 31 million dollar segment from Bluefield to Huntington, including 1.35 miles to the Prichard landfill and 1.14 miles to Hubbardstown, with more contracts and a fourth segment bidding December 9.
