West Virginia to Build State Wide Road System
The West Virginia road commission plans a fifty five county state wide system funded by a fifty million bond issue. The Northwestern grade from Winchester to Parkersburg will be central with connections to Maryland and Virginia roads and a six mile link between Martinsburg and the Virginia roads to complete the main artery. The system aims to open travel for non resident tourists and ease east to west movement across the state.
