West Virginia Turnpike Holiday Traffic Volume Matched Official Expectations
West Virginia DOT announced that approximately 1.35 million vehicles used the state’s turnpike during the 11 days surrounding the July 4 holiday, which is the time of the year when turnpike travel reaches its peak. “Traffic was exactly as we expected it would be. We were properly staffed, we were ready for it, and operations ran efficiently,” said Jeff Miller, executive director of the turnpike operating authority. The news release added, “This year’s July 4 holiday figures were down from last year’s count for the same 11-day period, when more than 1.45 million motorists used the Turnpike.” Miller attributed the drop partly to current gas prices.
