There's been some straightening of 50 in the epanh, so not all projects are 4 lanes.

I don't see what would be gained with 2, though.

I would love to meet you in person Arp2. Come on up the Nice 4 lanes from Charelston up to Parkersburg. Then hop on over, (and I do mean HOP, you'll be doing a lot of that all over U.S. State Route 2, from Parkersburg to New Martinsville). Then you can tell me you don't see what would be gained.
Guess it is because, a new 4 lane from Parkersburg should be built all the way to Wheeling and up through Wertion. However, I don't want to open up a new Wheeling thread.

The context was building an interstate or upgrading to one, and I was speaking only of those passing through....non-WVians going from one place somewhere else to another place somewhere else. Those people already have everything they need in 79, 77, and 64 and would have no need for an upgraded, NE/SW-running 2.

I have no idea about its safety.....or anything about it, really.......

73 and 74 would enable a whole bunch of people now driving long ways through Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, Virginia, and Pennsylvania to take more direct routes through West Virginia and open up whole new areas for services and distribution-related facilities.....
