{Charleston, West Virginia}...The state Division of Highways has hired a California-based contractor to take up the original concrete pavement from the Interstate 64-Interstate 77 split in Charleston and put down new concrete to replace it. The $21 million project begins next week and continue through most of the rest of this year and into next spring and early summer. Because of the multiple lanes and the decision to do the work at night, the project will go from May 15th to November this year and then April to June in 2013. The first stretch to be worked on will be eastbound I-64 near the on-ramp closest to CAMC's Women and Children's Hospital. Approximately 110-thousand vehicles travel the split through the heart of Charleston on a daily basis.
