Motorists should plan extra travel time during work. The State Highway Administration’s contractor, Triton construction, Inc. of St. Alban, WV., will use signage, construction barrels and cones to guide motorists through the work zone.
The State Highway Administration is Serious About Safety. Pedestrians and motorists are urged to remain alert and avoid distractions when traveling through the work zone. Motorists should obey all posted speed limits. Motorists can dial #77 on their mobile devices for roadside assistance.
