Corridor H would be safer in some situations, but the Corridor design creates safety problems of its own, with two at-grade intersections every mile. Further, all the other highways in our regional network would still have safety needs as well. If West Virginia spends more than $300 million in state gas tax dollars to match federal funds to build Corridor H, where will the money come for all the needed work on other roads? Snow removal and other maintenance would be scheduled first on Corridor H, while local roads would deteriorate. Finally, the safest stretch of highway in our region, Route 55 from the W.Va. Line to Strasburg, VA, would end up being replaced by Corridor H if West Virginia politicians ever overcome Virginia opposition.
