About the Project
Interstate 64 (I-64) serves the growing communities of Kanawha and Putnam Counties. Originally built in 1966, the segment crossing the Kanawha River, between Exits 44 and 45, now carries approximately 70,000 vehicles per day. An increase in traffic volume has resulted in congestion, sudden stops, and collisions along I-64.

Project Area Map

Current Phase
The I-64 Improvement Project, currently in the construction phase, is a multi-year project that will widen I-64 from the US 35/I-64 Interchange to just east of the Nitro Interchange. A widened I-64 will not just improve traffic volume capacity, but will also enhance safety and support continued economic growth in the area.
Visit the Contact Us page to learn how you can stay up to date on the I-64 Improvement Project. WV 511 is also available to view real-time traffic conditions along I-64.
