Highway Group Vows Quick Upgrade of West Virginia Turnpike
James A. Williams of Wytheville Virginia, president of the Great Lakes to Florida Highway Association, said the group will push to upgrade the 88 mile West Virginia Turnpike to interstate standards. WV Highway Commissioner William Ritchie estimated 325 million dollars for four-laning, with potential completion by 2004 if funds and bond approval from Governor Arch Moore are secured. Williams said a 300 million bond issue could finance the project now with future federal funds paying off bonds, and the GLFHA will push a crash program to complete I 77 from Princeton to Charleston in about three years.
