| The WV Turnpike |
The West Virginia Turnpike is a four-lane toll highway, 88 miles
in length, between Princeton and Charleston, West Virginia. Interstate 77 is carried by the entire length of the Turnpike;
Interstate 64 is carried from Charleston to south of City of Beckley.Described as "an engineering achievement of heroic proportion,"
the Turnpike traverses mountainous terrain that required grades of up to five percent and the movement of 70 million cubic
yards of earth. The Turnpike climbs from an elevation of 600 feet at Charleston to an elevation of 3400 feet at Flat
Top Mountain.The Turnpike has 116 bridges - more than one every mile. Three of its major bridges were named for native
West Virginia military heroes - two Congressional Medal of Honor winners, Sergeant Cornelius Charlton and Sergeant Stanley
Bender, and one noted aviation pioneer, Brigadier General Charles E. (Chuck) Yeager, the first to penetrate the sound barrier.In
addition to providing the traveler with the most direct route south from the Great Lakes and regions of Canada, the Turnpike
carries Interstate 64 to south of Beckley, where it provides a much needed east-west route as well. Nature's vistas - the
view from Flat Top Mountain, the Bluestone Gorge, spring's buds and blossoms and fall's panoply of color
- add aesthetics to the list of conventional values of economy and time found on the West Virginia Turnpike.
