Laird Favors North South Road Study
U S Senator William R Laird called for an early congressional study of the federal interstate highway program to include a Great Lakes to Florida route through West Virginia. He noted West Virginia’s strategic position and urged the next Congress to consider this link, aligning with state civic groups and Turnpike Commission support for a north south corridor. He warned time in the current session is insufficient to rewrite routes on the Senate floor.
