Charleston, WV (Wowk) – The King Coal Highway is a well -known topic for residents of the southern West Virginia.
For more than two decades, it was done to create a up-to-date four -lane motorway between Williamson and Bluefield.
After completing the project, the project will consist of 90 miles, which leads to faster and safer transport in a mountain region. The project phases have been completed, but the entire work has not yet been done.
The ultimate goal is to save more than 30 minutes of pendulum time between the counties Mingo and Mercer.
At a meeting of the Senate Transport Committee on Friday morning, the legislators expressed their support for a resolution that prioritized the conclusion of the King Coal Highway.
“As a member of the Corridor H Highway Authority, I understand how important the motorway infrastructure is for our state,” said Republican Senator Robbie Morris from Randolph County. “I always said that while I support myself to complete the Corridors H, I also support the completion of the King Coal Highway.”
“The King Coal Highway was completed in pieces. The pieces fall apart,” said Republican Senator Craig challenging from Mingo County. “It is past time to do this. I look forward to seeing that and I’m going to be right.”
The resolution was accepted and sent to the Senate.
Throughout the body, the senators passed some bills at the session, including one that gives my inspectors an raise of $ 4,000.
But her work is not done for the week, the Senate returns to the State Capitol on Saturday morning at 10 a.m.
