Drivers must stay alert to avoid accidental vehicle damage from fresh highway striping. Watch for orange cones, respect active crews, and reach out to 1-833-WV-ROADS for spill assistance.

Flashback Friday! In late April of 1966 work was being finished on the I-64 Interchange at Alternate WV 10 near Huntington. The contractors were scheduled to finish work late that summer.

October is Pedestrian Safety Month, so it's a good time to bring up that a pedestrian is injured in a traffic crash every seven minutes. Whether you’re driving, walking, or biking, every choice you make helps keep our community safer. Thanks for making a difference together!

Throwback of major interchange for I-77! Shown is the half-cloverleaf interchange for Interstate 77 at WV Route 2, north of Parkersburg. Construction was nearing completion on the highway from the WV Route 2 location northward to near Williamstown. November 1965.

WV roads and wildlife don’t always mix. In fact, WV drivers have a 1 in 40 chance of a wildlife strike—the highest in the nation! If an animal becomes a traffic hazard, our WVDOH crews will clear the travel lanes to keep you safe. Report a hazard: 1-833-WVROADS

The only thing scarier than a 7-foot-tall cryptid with glowing red eyes? The Mothman Festival weekend traffic. Check out our very serious, not-at-all-zany map of the chaos. Silver Memorial Bridge has a lane closure, so expect delays! Fly safe out there. #MothmanFestival

Bumping your speed from 70 mph to 80 mph on a 100-mile drive only saves you 10 minutes. It's really not worth the extra gas, the highway stress, or the speeding ticket. Set the cruise control, put on a podcast, and just chill. You'll get there.
A West Virginia Department of Transportation speed safety tip poster. It illustrates that driving 70 MPH on a 100-mile trip takes 1 hour 25 minutes, while 80 MPH takes 1 hour 15 minutes. The poster emphasizes that saving 10 minutes is not worth the risk.

Today, WVDOT pauses to honor the heroes and innocent lives lost on September 11, 2001. Our nation was forged in resilience, and our dedication to freedom remains unshaken. We will never forget.

We all hate running late, but those speed limit signs aren't just mild suggestions—they’re the law. Easing off the gas isn't just about avoiding a ticket; it’s about making sure everyone sharing the road gets home safely today. Slow down and take it easy out there.
A graphic that depicts various speed limit signs with words like "minimum," "proposal," "suggestion," and "recommendation" crossed out and replaced with "limit." The main speed limit is shown as 60. At the bottom, a caption reads: "The law isn't lenient. Neither is the speed limit. Wild, Wonderful, and Within the Limit." The background shows a highway.
