WTRF | Thursday, April 17, 2025
With warmer weather allowing asphalt plants to open, the West Virginia Division of Highways has initiated a pothole repair campaign throughout the region, including areas near Charles Town and Harpers Ferry. Despite challenging winter conditions leading to a backlog in hot asphalt production, crews are prioritizing the most severely damaged roads using cold mix for now. Transportation Secretary Todd Rumbaugh emphasizes the urgency of repairs as road crews focus on primary routes in Boone, Kanawha, and surrounding counties, directly impacting daily commutes and travel in the area as reported by WTRF.
