Burch ridge RD, site 4 +4

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded $158,200.00 to the West Virginia Division of Highways under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) on June 4, 2025, for emergency repair work on Burch Ridge Road in Marshall County, West Virginia. The project encompasses slip repair and piling wall stabilization work along State Route 29 between mileposts 0.55 and 0.57 near the junction of CO 29 and WV 2. The award funds both the engineering design and emergency response activities required to address the identified infrastructure failure and restore safe roadway conditions.

This emergency relief project represents a critical infrastructure preservation initiative under the Federal Highway Administration's authority to support state transportation agencies in addressing urgent highway maintenance and safety needs. The piling wall repair work addresses slope or embankment stabilization issues, which are typical of the specialized infrastructure interventions supported through FHWA's Highway Planning and Construction program. As a state-administered federal-aid highway program, the West Virginia Division of Highways, operating under its parent organization the West Virginia Division of Labor, managed project selection and implementation in accordance with federal stewardship and oversight requirements.
