WEST VIRGINIA EXECUTIVE
In a special bond election in 2017, West Virginians voted
in favor of the Roads to Prosperity bond referendum, which
allowed the West Virginia Department of Transportation to
begin utilizing three different bonding strategies—general ob-
ligation bonds, turnpike bonds and Grant Anticipation Reve-
nue Vehicle, or GARVEE, bonds—and increased DMV fees to
invest in more than 600 transportation projects over the next
four years. This upgrade to the Mountain State’s transporta-
tion infrastructure will not only lead to major repairs on the
state’s aging roads and bridges but will also create jobs and
help pave the way for economic recovery.
This map offers a visual representation of just a few of the
hundreds of roads projects planned or in progress across West
Virginia in 2018, including resurfacing; paving; adding lanes;
widening roads; repairing drains, guard rails, ditches, shoul-
ders and slide damage; and replacing and installing bridges,
culverts and grates.
