Signage
at the Randolph County line on eastbound US 33.
Signage along
eastbound US 33 west of Elkins. County route 151 is the old
alignment of US 33. Standalone signage for West Virginia
county routes is rare.


These signs along
eastbound US 33 are found at Norton, west of Elkins, where
US 250 and WV 92 join the route.



This was the scene
in late June 2000, where the four-lane portion of US 33 (and
US 250 and WV 92), comprising the finished portion of
Corridor H, ended. Since this photo was taken, the road seen
as under construction in the background has been opened to
US 219 north of Elkins. Note that US 250 is missing from the
overhead guide sign.

In June 1983, when I
was in college, our family took a vacation to drive the Blue
Ridge Parkway. We made our way from Kentucky through Elkins,
W. Va., to Harrisonburg, Va., where we stayed overnight and
then hit the Skyline Drive and Blue Ridge Parkway the next
day. When we passed through Elkins, I had a picture taken of
me next to the sign on eastbound US 33 of the town bearing
my surname. Back then, the sign was supported by two poles
and I stood beneath the sign when my brother took the photo.
My next visit to the town was in June 2000. Below, several
dozen pounds heavier, you'll see me standing by the sign as
it existed that day. At right is a closeup of the
sign.

Notice the absence of WV 92 signs on the center

signage on the opposite side of the road, designating the
"west-north" multiplex of these four routes.

Approaching Elkins
from the east on westbound US 33/WV 55 (the fat guy standing
under the sign on the left is me.) In the distance you can
see the 33/55 intersection with US 219, US 250 and WV
92.
