DOH has plans for Berkeley County traffic congestion

MARTINSBURG, W.Va. — An informational meeting Tuesday night at Orchard View Intermediate School in Berkeley County will review the West Virginia Division of Highway’s Traffic Operations & Safety Study for state Route 45 between Blue Ridge Community and Technical College and New York Avenue.

Executive Director of the Hagerstown Eastern Panhandle Metropolitan Planning Organization Matt Mullenax says outside of Interstate 81, that stretch of road has been the area’s number one priority in their long range plans for a number of years.

The study evaluates current and future traffic conditions, identifies potential deficiencies, and helps develop alternative improvements to enhance traffic flow, Mullenax said.

The public will be able to ask questions but no formal presentation is scheduled.

The meeting is set for 6:00 Tuesday evening.
