The State Road Commission raised the gross weight limit for trucks on West Virginia routes 3 and 63 from 60 800 to 70 000 pounds. The change covers from the New Raleigh Road intersection to Alderson on route 3 and from Alderson to Ronceverte on route 63, where it connects with U S 219 already at 70 000.
