With apologies to John Denver, West Virginia’s transportation network is much more than country roads. There are also interstates, secondary highways and rural connectors comprising a nearly 39,000-mile road network, 96% of which is maintained by the West Virginia Dept. of Transportation, ENR MidAtlantic’s Owner of the Year.
Although the state’s ubiquitous mountains are scenic, they also present the agency with a host of unusual topographic and geologic construction and maintenance challenges besides normal weathering and wear.
