A new 11-mile section of Corridor H, a major highway project in West Virginia, opened to traffic on June 22, 2026, connecting the towns of Kerens and Parsons. The section is part of the larger Corridor H project, which aims to improve transportation across the state.
The opening ceremony took place on June 22, 2026, with state officials including Governor Jim Justice in attendance. The new section is expected to reduce travel time and improve safety for drivers in the region.
Corridor H is a four-lane highway that will eventually connect Interstate 79 near Weston to the Virginia state line near Wardensville. The project has been under construction for decades, with this section being a key milestone.
The total cost of this section was approximately $150 million, funded by state and federal sources. The highway is designed to support economic development in the area by providing better access to markets and services.
