West Virginia Governor Patrick Morrisey announced a new approach to road projects, emphasizing partnerships with counties and the private sector to address funding shortfalls. The state's Department of Transportation will prioritize maintenance and seek collaborative efforts, including public-private partnerships, for new construction due to past under-investment and existing debt. This shift follows successful local projects like the I-79 exit 153 interchange. This new strategy aims to leverage local resources and private investment, potentially accelerating projects and allowing the state to address more infrastructure needs across West Virginia.
