Governor plans to announce secondary roads plan on Wednesday

CHARLESTON — Gov. Jim Justice announced Friday evening that he will announce a plan to address secondary road issues on Wednesday, time and location of announcement to be announced.

In a release, he said, “There is no doubt the Department of Transportation is doing great work on our Roads to Prosperity projects, but our secondary roads aren’t being addressed with the urgency needed. This is the issue that we will address with this plan, and secondary roads will be the No. 1 priority of the department. These roads have been neglected for nearly two decades, and that’s not going to continue on my watch. The people of West Virginia deserve well-maintained roads.”
