CHARLESTON, WV – Predicted temperatures in the 60s during the week of Monday, February 26, 2024, mean the West Virginia Division of Highways (WVDOH) can continue making permanent pothole repairs with hot asphalt in the Kanawha Valley, southern and north central West Virginia.
Since Gov. Jim Justice and the WVDOH announced Operation R.I.P. Potholes on Tuesday, January 30, 2024, WVDOH road crews have patched 21,240 potholes along 3,718 miles of road. As crews are out patching, they are finding that some stretches of road may have numerous potholes to patch, while some stretches may have none.
Justice and the WVDOH have been taking advantage of unseasonably warm weather to get a head start on the spring pothole patching season.
Asphalt plants in Poca, Princeton, and Morgantown remain open the week of Monday, February 26, 2024, allowing the WVDOH to make permanent pothole repairs with hot asphalt.
