Route description

WV 891 begins at an intersection with US 250 north of Cameron and heads east. The very curvy route mainly serves as a connector to Pennsylvania Route 21, as the highway intersects no other state highways and doesn't run through any communities. [2]

History

Until the late 1980s, the route was known as West Virginia Route 89. WV 89 continued west along present County Route 89 to WV 2 at Proctor.

The entire route is in Marshall County.
