New West Route Aims Through Frederick County
Plans by the West Virginia highway commission envision a new west route cutting through the northern tip of Frederick county from Leesburg toward Charles Town and beyond to Berkeley Springs. The project, near Wheatland in Loudoun, would reroute traffic from Winchester via Leesburg to Gerrardstown and Inwood, with construction advancing from Inwood to Gerrardstown and plans to extend to the West Virginia line and Forks of Capon. The route climbs Little North Mountain to viewpoints of the Shenandoah Valley and Back Creek Valley, intersects the historic Pack Horse road at the summit, and is marked by the Berkeley County Historical Society noting Mills Tavern at Mill’s Gap established around 1769.
