Fought told the Hur Herald, "It involves roadway and bridge repairs and improvements across West Virginia, and may include culvert replacements, turning improvements, widening, or other enhancements, and improvements."
"The purpose of the WVRII is to improve access to remote areas in West Virginia to increase ability for general public and/or commercial use as well as to improve public health, safety, reliability and convenience for residents."
Construction has commenced on the White Oak Station, located in a remote area near the Calhoun-Ritchie line.
