Plans For US Route 35 Toll Road Move Forward
WEST VIRGINIA....
The West Virginia Parkways authority is moving forward with the process of turning the new US Route 35 into a toll road. Funding is needed for the new four lane highway from the Buffalo bridge to Point Pleasant. There would be two toll plazas built, one in Mason County near Three Mile Creek Road and another in Putnam County near Tucker Branch Road. Preliminary suggested toll rates would be $2.00 for cars and $8.00 for trucks. Putnam and Mason county commissions still need to sign off on the plan, and public hearings need to be held before a final decision is made.
