Governor Underwood is moving towards developing a complete transportation system across West Virginia that will take this state and our residents to new levels of success in the 21st Century. Beverage also noted that the Coalfields Expressway has been a dream for far too long. Under Governor Underwood's direction, the Coalfields Expressway is now becoming a reality. The southern part of the state has been stifled for too long by a poor transportation. Beverage goes on to say that strong infrastructure is the key to economic success.
Development follows a quality highway system.
Governor Underwood and this transportation team are committed to seeing this project through to completion. As long as Cecil Underwood is Governor and I am Secretary of Transportation, the Coalfields Expressway will be priority. The first Coalfields Expressway project in Raleigh County, North Surveyor Creek Road to WV 54, was awarded on July 18, 2000. All Rights Reserved.
