Second round of fall paving in Huntington set to begin
HUNTINGTON – The second round of paving in Huntington this fall will begin in the near future.
Paving usually occurs in the spring and fall in Huntington. This past spring, however, more than $1 million in paving was delayed in the city due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Work on that paving list began in September, and officials with West Virginia Paving notified city officials recently that they were almost completed and would soon begin on the fall round of paving
City Council members solicit paving requests from constituents and submit their lists to the City of Huntington’s Public Works Department. The requests are reviewed with the West Virginia Division of Highways on a number of factors, including traffic volume and road conditions.
The paving list from this past spring included 31 individual paving projects spread across City Council’s nine geographic districts and totaling 5.3 miles at an estimated cost of $1,050,468. The fall list that will soon begin and includes 45 individual paving projects totaling 6.39 miles at an estimated cost of $1,300,284. That brings the total spending for paving this fall to $2,350,752 and a total of 76 projects totaling 11.69 miles.
After fall paving is completed, the City of Huntington will have paved 48 miles of roads totaling $13,666,255 since 2014.
