Bluefield highway interchange to bid in June new I-73/74 corridor plans
Michael Mitchem of the King Coal Highway Authority told Bluefield Economic Development Commission that bids for the Bluefield interchange will be let in June and construction could start by late July or August. He projected a 65 mile per hour corridor along I-73/74 with full completion in ten years, potentially five with $1.2 billion in funding. The group discussed signage, state transportation funding, and local economic development plans as the authority remains based in Bluefield for two months.
