SOUTH CHARLESTON, W.Va. — The state Division of Highways says all of the cones are up and the Jefferson Road 5-lane widening project in South Charleston is done.
All lanes are open from Corridor G (U.S. Route 119) to MacCorkle Avenue (U.S. Route 60) –including on the overpass.
DOH-hired contractor Kokosing Construction completed the final paving and striping Friday.
Kokosing was awarded the $46.8 million contract in April 2019. The featured section is a new bridge that goes over Kanawha Turnpike and a pair of CSX railroad tracks.
“Additional work to tie in the new road with driveways and access the West Virginia State Police facility and other businesses remains to be completed, but should be finished by the end of September,” the DOH said in a Friday news release. “A formal celebration and dedication of the project will be scheduled for the near future.”
