Hardy CO 23/12-waites run RD

The Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration awarded the West Virginia Division of Highways $2,028,215.21 on January 13, 2026, under the Appalachian Development Highway System (CFDA 20.229), a formula grant program funding highway and access road construction within 13 Appalachian Region states.

The award funds grade and drain work, bridge construction, and related improvements on Hardy County State Route 23/12 from State Route 28/12 to the Virginia state line in West Virginia. Work is performed in West Virginia with an ultimate completion date of June 28, 2031. The ADHS program, jointly administered by the Appalachian Regional Commission and FHWA, aims to complete designated development highway corridors that support economic development across the Appalachian region. Funds are apportioned to states by formula under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, which dedicates $250 million annually (less 1.5 percent for FHWA operations and administration) through fiscal 2026. The West Virginia Division of Highways, operating as a division within the West Virginia Department of Transportation, serves as the direct implementer of FHWA-funded transportation infrastructure projects across West Virginia's state highway network.
