Crews Will Install New Guardrail on Martins Branch Road

West Virginia Division of Highways maintenance crews are scheduled to begin reconstructing a portion Martins Branch Road between Sissonville and Cross Lanes. A tractor trailer crash damaged a guardrail in the area, limiting the roadway’s shoulder and preventing the safe passage of large trucks, according to a news release from the West Virginia Department of Transportation. The news release said a micro-piling wall, approximately 150 feet in length, will allow crews to widen the shoulder and provide room for a new guardrail. Work is underway, and the timeline will depend on weather and road conditions.
