Two-Lane Turnpike Feasible Now Four-Lane by 1956 or 1965 Sure
Hugh Hutchinson of the West Virginia Turnpike Commission told the Appalachian Chapter of the West Virginia Society of Professional Engineers that a two-lane turnpike is feasible now with four lanes by 1956 or 1965 as revenue from the two-lane would fund the larger road. The plan would cut Beckley to Charleston distance by 14 miles and save 64 minutes at 50 mph, with tolls of 90 cents for cars and 3.55 for trucks. no public funds would be used and trucks would supply about 80 percent of revenue.
