Yeah, I checked out CR 27 east of I-77. It would be faster to drop south on I-77 and then take I-79 north.

I've driven US 33 a couple of times, and I've done both WV 2 and OH 7 along the river multiple times.

My understanding was that the bridge crossing the Kanawha there where US 119 comes into I-64 was under construction and was a major bottleneck. My patience for sitting in traffic is less than zero. I'd rather drive 10 miles out of the way and keep moving vs. sitting still and not moving, or just creeping along.

Like Bitmapped has said, I don't think construction has fully began on that crossing yet.

The Fort Hill bridge project will not start until January 27.  If on schedule it will be finished in 11 months.

In any event, there are plenty of ways to avoid the bridge without going  more than a mile or two out of your way, no reason to go to other counties or states.
