I-64 traffic headache may be there for some time

CHARLESTON, W.Va. — State Transportation Secretary Paul Mattox recently told state lawmakers adding a second bridge on Interstate 64 at Nitro would cost about $150 million.

“We’re in the very preliminary engineering stage and we’ve only had one public meeting and currently it’s not in our six-year program,” Mattox said.

The plan is to reconfigure the Nitro and St. Albans exits along with adding a second bridge over the Kanawha River.
