Project Description
The preferred alternative will widen 3.65 miles of existing US 19 from WV 3 (Hinton Road) to a point just north of County Route 19/54 (Granby Circle). By widening to both
sides of the existing road, impacts to existing residences, businesses, and environmental features will be avoided to a great extent. The new configuration will provide a
through-lane in each direction and a continuous left turn lane throughout the corridor. It will correct poor horizontal and vertical geometry and eliminate many of the
existing skewed intersections. The through-lanes will be 12 feet wide and the continuous turning lane will be 14 feet wide. The estimated construction cost of the preferred
alternative is $35 million. This cost does not include final design, right-of-way, or utility relocations.
