The West Virginia Division of Highways (WVDOH) will hold an informational public meeting on Monday, May 20, 2013, at Rock Branch Elementary School, located at 4616 1st Avenue, Nitro, Putnam County, West Virginia on the proposed widening of I-64 from the new Interchange at Crooked Creek (Exit 39) to east of the Nitro Interchange (Exit 45). This 3.79 mile stretch of interstate lies between two existing six-lane sections of Interstate 64 and includes a new second truss bridge over the Kanawha River. This meeting initiates the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) studies.

This project is part of the WVDOT Statewide Transportation Improvement Program 2012/2017, and will increase in the number of lanes and capacity from Charleston to the unincorporated community of Scott Depot at Interstate 64/WV 34 (Exit 39).

The scheduled public meeting is from 4:00 to 7:00 p.m. and the public will be afforded the opportunity to ask questions and give written comments on the project throughout the meeting. A handout with project details will be available at the meeting and on the WVDOH Website.
