West Virginia Route 108

West Virginia Route 108 is the designation given to a highway currently open that is intended to be a part of Interstate 73 (I-73) and I-74.

The state started this route in 2007, but the West Virginia Department of Transportation (WVDOT) did not have the funding to connect it to other roadways.

The King Coal Highway is thought to be intended to open West Virginia’s southern coalfields to economic development, so in the early 1990s, the West Virginia Department of Transportation (WVDOT) decided to start construction on a segment from US 52 and US 460 (John Nash Boulevard) to WV 123 (Airport Road).

Jim Justice revitalized the project and brought back funding.

The West Virginia Division of Highways (WVDOH) announced an extension towards Littlesburg Road and are planning to start construction in 2025.
