More than 100 people attended a public meeting last week to learn about a proposed new interchange on Interstate 79 near Morgantown.
The West Virginia Division of Highways hosted the meeting January 13 at Skyview Elementary School to present plans for the Harmony Grove Interchange, which would create a new access point to I-79 between the Star City and Goshen Road interchanges.
According to a WVDOH news release, the meeting provided residents with information about the project’s purpose, timeline and potential impacts. Attendees had the opportunity to view project displays, ask questions and provide feedback to project engineers.
The proposed interchange is intended to improve traffic flow and provide better access to the growing Harmony Grove area, which has seen significant residential and commercial development in recent years.
