The purpose of the project is to provide a cross-river system linkage connecting WV 2 to OH 7 with connections to major US highways and I-64 as well as provide improved access for economic development and growth in the region.
The study has assessed existing and future traffic operations, environmental resources, and economic development opportunities. Furthermore, and based on these assessments, three potential bridge crossing alternatives were evaluated. Results of this evaluation and public input will help inform the project
A Planning and Environmental Linkage (PEL) Study is a collaborative approach to decision-making used to identify transportation issues and environmental concerns. This integrated approach considers environmental, community, and economic goals early in the planning process and uses this information to streamline transportation project development and the environmental review process.
