Corridor H

There's also this just west of the Interstate 66/Interstate 81 interchange: https://www.google.com/maps/place/Carmeuse+Strasburg+Operation/@39.0149837,-78.3146122,3515m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m6!3m5!1s0x89b5becbad34e637:0x16bcab5fda588afd!8m2!3d39.0194816!4d-78.3297805!16s%2Fg%2F126460hfn?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI2MDIxMS4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D.

Looking at the map, it would seem to make more sense, to have the T directional interchange just to the E of the current I-81/US 48 interchange.

The reason I said the ideal location, if it were possible, would be at the existing interchange with I-66 is because putting it there would eliminate the need for traffic connecting between I-66 and Corridor H to use four miles of I-81.

Opening of the first part of the Kerens-Parsons segment has been delayed until late June 2026. https://archive.ph/L7aWg

I heard. What a shame, as it would have been slightly possible for me to attend the ceremony on Memorial day, but it's unlikely I will in late June. Oh well...

After this segment opens, I wonder how soon a Google Car can travel it to add it to Street View.

The wait is over!

New section of Corridor H to open Monday between Kerens and Parsons

State and local officials will gather for a ribbon-cutting ceremony at noon Monday to celebrate the completion of the four-lane highway, designated as U.S. Route 48, which links Kerens in Randolph County to Parsons in Tucker County.

The ceremony will take place at the current end of U.S. 48 north of Elkins.

Following the official opening, drivers will gain immediate access to a continuous four-lane expressway stretching from Parsons all the way west to Interstate 79 at Weston.

It will take place at noon at the Kerens bridges. I should be there, so once it is over, I will get as many pictures as I can. I will also update OSM, Travel Mapping, upload the photos to Commons, etc.

Ribbon cutting for the 11-mile Karens to Parsons segment is today at noon.
