Putnam Business Park Drive exit closed Friday, November 6, 2026, through Monday, November 9, 2026

The Putnam Business Park Drive exit on US 35 will be closed, from 8 a.m. Friday, November 6, 2026, through 8 a.m. Monday, November 9, 2026, to allow for a paving project to smooth out a rough section of US 35.
 
In August, Bear Contracting LLC was awarded a contract for $4,794,056.54 to repave an approximately 1.2-mile section of US 35 between Hurricane Creek Road and Five and Twenty Mile Bridge. It is one of several rough sections of highway on US 35 that the West Virginia Division of Highways (WVDOH) intends to smooth out.
 
Work is currently going on in both northbound and southbound lanes of US 35.
 
During weekend paving operations, traffic will be unable to enter or exit Putnam Business Park Drive. Traffic will have to use Hurricane Creek Road to enter or exit US 35.
