South Charleston bridge work nears end

Posted: Updated:

A longstanding traffic problem on one of West Virginia's busiest highways is nearing its end.

The West Virginia Division of Highways will begin the process of opening all four lanes of Interstate 64 westbound during peak travel times near the Dunbar/South Charleston bridge during the evening of Monday, July 2.

Some lane closures will occur in order to make the transition from two to four lanes.

While four lanes will be open during peak travel times, lane closures can still be expected during non-peak travel hours as the DOH works to complete the project by August. 

The bridge has been rebuilt in the past couple of years. Construction work at times has created congested from the bridge east toward Charleston.
