Transpark draws national support for new connector plan
Congress member Rahall heard that once the connector to the interstate is finished the Transpark could reach about one third of the U S population within 12 hours and two thirds within 23 hours.

Rahall emphasized national transport priorities and national leaders’ backing for the Transpark amid state highway plans.
