MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – Motorists have become all too familiar with road work on I-79 between Morgantown and the Pennsylvania state line, and the latest restriction could end by the end of the Friday, August 23.
DOH District 4 Supervisor, Darby Clayton described the contract to do the work as a disgn-build type project. The contractor has the latitude to design pavement cross sections, but they must last for the specified 9-year warranty period.
Clayton said of the current closure, “The quality of work we got from the contractor wasn’t acceptable to us, so we had to go out and mill, even repave some of them.”
Bridgeport-based Bear Contracting is the DOH contractor for the project.
