US 340 Public Workshop

The West Virginia Department of Transportation (WVDOT), Division of Highways, in cooperation with the Maryland Department of Transportation, the Virginia Department of Transportation and the Hagerstown/Eastern Panhandle Metropolitan Planning Organization will hold an informational public workshop on Thursday, August 16, 2012 at the Bolivar Community Center, 60 Panama Street, Bolivar, West Virginia. The public workshop will be held to address the recurring congestion and mobility challenges along the US Route 340 corridor at Harpers Ferry. This will be a planning-level workshop through which WVDOT officials will seek public input regarding operational improvements that could be considered within and adjacent to the US Route 340 corridor from Washington Street in Harpers Ferry, West Virginia to Maryland State Route 67. Operational improvements could include, but are not limited to, evaluating the following: traffic signals, carpooling, park and ride facilities, turning lanes and transit opportunities.
