Operation R.I.P. Potholes update: WVDOH passes 36,000 potholes patched

Since Gov. Jim Justice and the West Virginia Division of Highways (WVDOH) announced Operation R.I.P. Potholes on Tuesday, January 30, 2024, WVDOH road crews have patched 36,075 potholes along 4,345 miles of road. As a means of comparison, as the crow flies, it’s only 3,573 miles from Charleston to the North Pole.

Gov. Justice and the WVDOH have been taking advantage of unseasonably warm weather to get a head start on the spring pothole patching season. 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.
