Star City bridge raises parallels with Morgantown river crossing
State Road Commissioner BE L Worthington cites the Lester Maben road as a primary highway risk since it would parallel Route 16 from Beckley to Mullens. The Morgantown Monongahela bridge project promises a trunkline from the Pennsylvania border to New Martinsville, a Morgantown bypass to ease suburbia traffic, and reduced loads on the Morgantown business district bridge.

Plea for Lester-Maben highway as primary road
A letter argues that the Lester-Maben road would run parallel to Route 1610 and offer benefits similar to the Star City bridge. It would shorten links between Wyoming County Beckley and Charleston, serve as a by-pass for heavy trucks, ease congestion in Beckley streets, and remove five coal towns from mud, urging payment as a primary road.
