I guess we are just going to replace this bridge 5sqft at a time. This is wild.
Another huge hole has developed on big I-64 Carter Bridge in Charleston..westbound center and fast lanes are closed.....The eastbound fast lane will also be closed on the bridge to allow a boom truck to access the underside of the bridge.
To anyone heading thru/away from Charleston this afternoon... Godspeed.
Not terribly important, but I have [finally!] updated the rotating photo gallery on the landing page of the @wvlegislature 's photo site with more (and more recent) photos. wvlegislature.gov/photos I've also made some minor usability tweaks to make the site easier to navigate.
Heck of a summer rain storm on a hot and muggy June evening at the #WVCapitol

This storm around Chapmanville, WV looks absolutely BANANAS right now. 😮😮😮

This clearly-defined gust front out ahead of these pop-up storms heading our way is REALLY incredible to see on RADAR. #wvwx @SpencerWeather @NWSCharlestonWV

Sir, you can't park there. Large portion of a massive oak tree crushes two cars at the #WVCapitol.

All gave some, and some gave all. Remembering those brave men and women who gave their lives for our freedom on this Memorial Day with this photo of the WV Veterans Memorial on the #WVCapitol grounds taken on Sunday.

Cyclists ride past the #WVCapitol today on Kanawha Boulevard in varying weather competing in the Individual Time Trials portion of the 2025 @usacycling Pro Road National Championships in @CharlestonWV. So cool to have this major event in our city! #USPro #RoadNats #CharlestonWV
