The West Virginia Division of Highways advises motorists that there will be a Traffic Delay/Lane Closure on US 50, Eastbound and Westbound beginning on Wednesday, February 24, 2021 from 7 a.m. through Monday, May 31, 2021 at 7 a.m. (24/7). Alternate Routes will be Joyce Street Exit (US 50), and West Pike Street Exit (US 50).
The purpose of the Traffic Delay/Lane Closure is the reconstruction of Roadway on US 50 both Eastbound and Westbound. A temporary concrete barrier will be installed to close a single lane on both Eastbound and Westbound. The lane closures will be between Joyce Street Exit and Second Street Exit (Parking Garage). Lane width will be 11 feet.
The lane closure will be 24/7. Expect delays. Motorists are advised to plan ahead and allow additional time for their commute.
Please note that inclement weather or unforeseen circumstances could change the project schedule.
