Corridor H is On the Fast Track
U.S. District Judge Thomas Hogan of the Federal District Court for the District of Columbia signed the Corridor H mediation agreement in February 2000. The agreement allows for construction to begin on Corridor H immediately.
The West Virginia Division of Highways has resumed construction on Corridor H in the Elkins area. The following photos illustrate their current efforts.
