Gov. Justice, WVDOH celebrate opening of westbound lanes on new Nitro WWI Memorial Bridge

CHARLESTON, WV – Gov. Jim Justice today announced the opening of the new Nitro WWI Memorial Bridge on Interstate 64.

The bridge, being built alongside the Donald M. Legg Memorial Bridge, carries I-64 over the Kanawha River between the Nitro and St. Albans exits.

"Today is a monumental day," Gov. Justice said. "This project has not been in the works forever, ever, ever, and a day. There have been a lot of comments about how we've moved quickly, how our great workers have done their jobs, and how all the great work our workers for Department of Highways do everyday."
