This set of photos begins in West Virginia, along I-64, where Winfield has been removed from the exit signs for WV 34 because of the new US 35 alignment.
|
|
Winfield has been added to the exit for new US 35. The new route is currently open only to the WV 34 exit; US 35 joins WV 34 and they run concurrently to Winfield.
|
|
|
|
Old US 35 has been renumbered WV 817.
