All photos on this page are southbound.


The bridges that will carry the US 219 freeway rise over the current surface road. The US 219 "freeway" will only be one in the West Virginia sense, and will have grade crossings, but no traffic signals or private access. Corridor H continues east through the mountains to the other constructed section along WV 55, and work is underway to connect the two.


Looking northeastward at the stubs of the US 219 freeway. The construction is progressing from the WV 55 end, obviously not from this end.


Views of the newly opened Corridor H highway, showing how much of the hills had to be cut away to stick a wide and modern road in.


US 33 does not go south. In fact, the best way to sign this would first be "Junction {33} {250} 1 MILE" and then "East {33} South {250}{219} ¾ MILE." The "freeway" continues past this exit as US 33 and US 250; follow the US 33 link at the bottom of the page to see the southwestern end of Corridor H.


Representative of West Virginia historic signs - some embossed black-on-white signs are new, others date back as far as 1964.

Older shields.


Heading south from WV 32 and Blackwater Falls, windmills threaten in the distance. Luckily, the threat passes over the horizon, and in a few miles you rise over a hill and come upon the following reassuring sight:


Yikes! US 219 SB needs a Windmill Ahead sign, because this really sneaks up on you and can be a scary experience. Stretching off to the right are more windmills, the same ones one sees from afar in the two photos above.
