US 33: Canfield to Bowden


US 33

Location: Randolph County, West Virginia
Clients: West Virginia Department of Highways

US 33 is a major east-west route through central West Virginia, connecting I-79 at Weston, West Virginia and I-81 at Harrisonburg, Virginia. We surveyed and designed a 6.5 mile section of new 4-lane roadway east of Elkins to replace an existing 2-lane roadway. Challenges included large cuts and fills through the mountainous terrain; fitting the highway on a mountain side near a stream, railroad and community; and protection of the National Fish Hatchery along Shavers Creek.

Our services included surveys, subsurface investigation, geotechnical analysis including slope design, and preliminary and final design of the highway and bridges.
