Heads up, drivers!

If you travel I-79 between Big Chimney and Elkview, you'll want to plan ahead for some overnight lane closures early next week. Crews will be doing a deck overlay project on the Guy R. Hively Memorial Bridges. But don't worry...there's an easy detour, and it is being done while most folks are winding down or sleeping!

Here is what you need to know to get around:

Monday, August 17 (8 p.m. to 5 a.m.): Southbound lanes will be closed.

Detour: Get off at the Elkview exit (Exit 9), take Frame Road to US 119 South, connect to WV 114 at Big Chimney, and hop back on I-79 at the Big Chimney exit (Exit 5).

Tuesday, August 18 (8 p.m. to 5 a.m.): Northbound lanes will be closed.

Detour: You'll do the exact reverse! Get off at the Big Chimney exit (Exit 5), take WV 114 to US 119 North, follow it to Frame Road, and get back on I-79 at the Elkview exit (Exit 9).

Give yourself a little extra time on Monday or Tuesday night, and please drive safe!
