What happened to WV 10A? I recall seeing a stub article on it a while back, but no mention now, it appears. 147.70.242.40 00:19, 24 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you; I forgot to add it when I made the new list. There are other missing suffixed and bannered routes, but none of them currently have articles. --NE2 00:23, 24 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Patterns[edit]

There were definitely some patterns in the initial assignment of routes in the 1920s:

  • 14 16 18 arcing southeasterly from the Ohio River; 20 seems to have been 55 though
  • 17 19 on opposite sides of the Kanawha River
  • 25 27 29 east-west in the Northern Panhandle
  • 49 east-west in the Eastern Panhandle
  • 50 52 north-south in the Eastern Panhandle

Piping links[edit]

Does anyone object if I pipe the links to the "WV Route" style? --NE2 22:46, 28 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No objections here. Seicer (talk) (contribs) 00:56, 29 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move[edit]

Primary state highways does not conform to WVDOH usage and came about from an apparent misunderstanding of the WV county route system. State routes is the preferred term on WV Highway Map and by WVDOH when road is not just referred to as WV xx. Brian Powell (talk) 06:21, 13 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]


wv 27 alt[edit]

why is this not on list but i see it on maps? goodguy007 (talk) —Preceding undated comment was added at 20:23, 6 December 2008 (UTC).[reply]

WV 27 Alternate does definitely exist in the Northern Panhandle. The great thing about Wikipedia is that if something is wrong or missing, you can fix it yourself. Brian Powell (talk) 21:25, 6 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

WV 79[edit]

Where was WV 79 before I-79 came around?

It was in Boone County running from Madison to Whitesville. It shows up on the State Road Commission's 1933 and 1946 county maps for Boone County. It started at US 119 (now WV 17) in Madison and followed what is now WV 85 out to near Van, then CR 26 to Browns Branch, a road that followed Browns Branch, Big Jarrells Creek, and Elk Run into Blue Pennant, and then current CR 3/15 to WV 3 near Whitesville. The route between CR 26 and the end of CR 3/15 is no longer a public road. Bitmapped (talk) 01:54, 10 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
