West Virginia

Benwood

There is an unused interchange along the U.S. Route 250/West Virginia Route 2 freeway just south of Wheeling^[18]. It formerly served the Bellaire Interstate Toll Bridge; however, the Ohio River span was closed in 1991. [19]

Crum

There is a stub for the Tolsia Highway that was completed in 2002^[19]. It was built as a four-lane highway on two roadways, but one is closed and the other is currently lined for two-way traffic. [20]

Huntington

The southern end of the West Virginia Route 106 (East Huntington Bridge) has a stub between the bridge's entrance and exit ramps. [21] It was designed to accommodate a planned direct connection between the bridge and U.S. Route 60 to the south, bypassing nearby neighborhood streets^[20].

Napier

A half mile section of abandoned road extends north from [U.S. Route 19/West Virginia Route 4 at Napier, West Virginia and ends in Burnsville Lake. This was formerly West Virginia Route 5, but was abandoned when Burnsville Lake was created. Intact pavement, road signs, driveway culverts, utility poles, and water wells can still be found near the roadway, which now serves as an access road for Burnsville Lake Wildlife Management Area. When the lake is at winter pool, it is possible to continue to walk up to a mile on the old highway grade.

Standard

The Memorial Tunnel was part of the West Virginia Turnpike from 1954 to 1987, when it was bypassed due to expansion of the Turnpike to four lanes. It was then used for fire tests for the Boston Central Artery/Tunnel Project, and has now been converted into the Center for National Response, a weapons of mass destruction and counter-terrorism training facility for the West Virginia National Guard^[21].

Wheeling

There is a stub at the Interstate 70 and the U.S. Highway 250/West Virginia Route 2 interchange immediately east of the Wheeling Tunnel. When it was opened on December 7, 1966^[22], the interchange was designed and partially constructed for an extension of West Virginia 2 north, which was eventually canceled. [22]
