There was a near-complete sign replacement project on Corridor H from Weston to Kerens in 2021. (There is one BGS for Buckhannon Mountain Road that I've noticed wasn't replaced, but everything else seems to have been done.) Much of the signage between Buckhannon to Elkins was from the original construction of this alignment in the 1990s and was way overdue for replacement.

There were a lot of faded route markers from the US 250 intersection at Norton to the WV 92 split. I'm surprised they didn't get replaced when the US 48 signage was added.

There are some button-copy signs in Elkins that are way past their prime. Worth getting photos if someone is down there.

I have several pics of them, taken at different times over the years.
That town needs a bypass of the downtown area. It's interesting because the developed commercial area is well to the south of what has become the through highway (Corridor H.)

WV gives into the BANANA groups. The latest tactic is to propose route changes, which set off new permitting, which they can then object to and tie up in court for years.
Way past time to save lives and spur development.
