The last stretch of U.S. Route 35 to be widened to four lanes in West Virginia is opening to traffic. Gov. Jim Justice held a ribbon-cutting ceremony for a 15-mile segment of the highway on Thursday near Fraziers Bottom. It’s the last part of U.S. 35 from Interstate 64 to the West Virginia-Ohio state line to be upgraded. The section goes from the Beech Hill community in Mason County to the Buffalo Bridge in Putnam County. The project included eight bridges and a new interchange at the junction of U.S. 35 and West Virginia 869.
