Capito: West Virginia to receive $24.8M grant for statewide truck parking project

The West Virginia Department of Transportation will receive a $24,837,048 grant through the U.S. Department of Transportation BUILD program, according to Sen. Shelley Moore Capito, R-W.Va.

The funds will be used to construct truck parking capacity expansion improvements at three existing facilities along I-81, I-64, and I-79 in Berkeley, Cabell, Monongalia Counties.

“Efforts to upgrade facilities along West Virginia portions of major interstates will enhance the safety of our drivers, support the regional and national movement of goods, and encourage economic investments across our state,” said Capito.
