Since Governor Jim Justice and WVDOH announced Operation RIP Potholes on Tuesday, January 30, 2024, WVDOH road crews have repaired 22,550 potholes along 3,7780 miles of road. As crews went out patching, they discovered that some stretches of road might have multiple potholes that needed to be patched, while some stretches might have none.
Justice and WVDOH took advantage of the unseasonably warm weather to begin the spring pothole patching season.
Asphalt plants in St. Albans, Princeton and Morgantown remain open throughout the week of Monday, February 26, 2024, allowing WVDOH to make permanent pothole repairs using hot asphalt.
