ABOUT THE PROJECT

The I-79 Chaplin Hill Gateway Project is a partnership between the Monongalia
County Commission, the West Virginia Department of Transportation, local
non-profits Mylan Park Foundation and the Mon River Trails Conservancy, and
private enterprise, with the shared goal of improving capacity, safety,
multi-modal access, and growth opportunities in north central West Virginia.


PROJECT LOCATION


REGIONAL MOBILITY

Serving over 33,500 vehicles per day, the Exit 155 interchange and Chaplin Hill
Road are a gateway for two critical destinations:

Eastwardly, Exit 155 and Chaplin Hill Road serve as the primary transportation
connection from I-79 to the City of Morgantown and West Virginia University, and
WVU Medicine's flagship hospital complex.

Westwardly, Exit 155 and Chaplin Hill Road serve as the primary transportation
connection to western Mon County, an area of concentrated economic growth and
community services largely unparalleled in the state.


PROJECT OUTCOMES

Component Outcome Reconstruct Exit 155 interchange Improves Level of Service
from F to B. Also 30% fewer crashes are expected based on crash modification
factors. Replace dual I-79 bridges over Chaplin Hill Road Increases vertical
clearance to meet interstate standards, eliminates existing fracture critical
pin and hanger design, and eliminates one “poor” and one “fair” rated bridge
from WVDOT’s system. Widen Chaplin Hill Road from I-79 eastward to Monongahela
Boulevard as a multi-lane boulevard style corridor with shared use path Improves
capacity of this corridor (the primary transportation connection from I-79 to
City of Morgantown and WVU Campuses) to serve existing and future traffic
demands of the region. Provides dedicated accessibility to all users, including
bicycles and pedestrians, and a direct connection to the regional rails-to
trails network. Construct a flyover for westbound through traffic at the Chaplin
Hill Road with Monongahela Boulevard intersection. Eliminates heavy traffic
movement from the intersection and improves Level of Service from F to C during
the afternoon peak hour. Provides needed capacity for traffic leaving Morgantown
during surge events, such as WVU football games. Construct a new roadway to
replace existing Chaplin Hill Road from I-79 westward to the Mylan Park area.
Roadway is a four-lane boulevard style corridor with shared use path. Replaces
the existing narrow roadway and eliminates a sharp curve which has frequent
crashes. Provides capacity to serve existing and future traffic demands.
Provides dedicated accessibility to all users, including bicycles and
pedestrians. Upgrade a 3,600 foot section of existing Chaplin Hill Road to the
Monongalia County School Transportation Department. Provides an improved roadway
which meets current design standards. Continues dedicated accessibility to all
users, including bicycles and pedestrians.
