DOH to Open Access Route on Coal River Road

Officials with the West Virginia Department of Highways announced on Wednesday they will begin work Thursday on an access route on Coal River Road in Alum Creek.

Part of Coal River Road has been closed since early December due to a slide.

Crews will begin working on the access road Thursday morning, barring any weather circumstances.

The work was supposed to be completed sooner. However, the DOH had trouble acquiring private land on which to build the access road.
