The Beckley Z-Way project, a highway and infrastructure project totaling more than $111 million in Raleigh County, W.Va., continues to progress as both sections currently remain under active construction. Beginning in Spring 2024 and expected to last approximately two years, the Beckley Z-Way project has made great strides in a short window of time. Broken down into two major sections, Shady Spring to Beaver and Beaver to S. Eisenhower, the project spans approximately 5.5 mi. into Beckley, W.Va, a highly traveled and regularly congested area. With more than 17,000 residents and known for its long history of coal mining and ties to the Appalachian culture, Beckley, W.Va., resides near the New Rover Gorge National Park and Preserve and offers attractions like shopping, locally made arts and crafts, miles of hiking and even underground mining tours. Ranked as the ninth most densely populated city within West Virginia and with more than 16,000 traveling vehicles passing through daily, the need for improved infrastructure and work to major highways US 19, WV 3 and I-64 only grew. see Z-WAY page 44
