Toll roads proposed to ease West Virginia growth
State Senator Alan Susman suggested expanding toll road networks to cover new corridors and ease debt from interstate construction. He noted current law permits toll roads with highway department approval and urged consideration of links between Bluefield and Huntington and Parkersburg and Wheeling, plus a Beckley bypass. Turnpike Commissioner George McIntyre said the idea has merit and could be discussed at a forthcoming meeting.
