West Virginia eyes interstate push amid funding doubts
West Virginia officials cite a 1962 federal aid act deadline and state plans to complete the interstate system by 1972. Road Chief Whitton warns of possible disapproval of future grants if urban projects lack time, while Road Commissioner Sawyers asserts WV is substantially on schedule with urban planning and manpower, relying on a 200 million bond proposal and updated project management to stay on track.

Alternate 1 470 plan eyed to spare Elm Grove from highway impact
State road chief Burl Sawyers said he will study an alternate 1 470 route to avoid bisecting Elm Grove as 1 470 would intersect 1 70 east of Wheeling. Westward alignment could reduce property disruption and costs, with a six month feasibility study and possible federal approval delays. Valley Camp Coal to close No 5 mine properties near the route by end of 1964 adds to the project context.
