A slip on Pine Creek Hill above the town of Grantsville has created one-way
traffic on the already narrow road. Joe Webb, Assistant Road Supervisor with
the Calhoun highway department, said the district office was notified and he
expects either piling or a cut deeper into the hill will be done to help with
the problem.

Webb said the project was "too big" for the local WVDOH office to start, and
district people have looked at the problem.
The narrow, winding and steep highway starts at the edge of Grantsville and
provides access to several families on the hill and lower Pine Creek. The
steep grade and crooked highway did receive some "blacktop" a few years
ago, but has remained much the same for nearly 100 years.
