WASHINGTON D.C. – Congresswoman Carol Miller (R-WV) participated in the ribbon cutting ceremony to celebrate the opening of the final 14.6 mile stretch of U.S. Route 35. With the last portion of the highway completed, travelers will now be able to drive from Scott Depot, West Virginia to the Ohio state line. Congresswoman Miller joined Governor Jim Justice, and Senators Shelley Moore Capito and Joe Manchin at the event.
"It's such an honor to be able to see this road that is so well-traveled become safer and better to drive," Congresswoman Miller said. "You all who live here know the accidents that we've had for many, many years, and I think this is going to cut those way, way down...I want to thank our great governor, Jim Justice, for making the completion of U.S. 35 possible. With his $2.8 billion Roads to Prosperity bond, he got it done. He worked hard to get it done, and I'm so proud that he had the vision to push through."
"What you see here today is a tremendous achievement," Gov. Justice said. "I thank everybody that put into licks to make this a reality; to make all this goodness happen."
