CHARLESTON, WV – Gov. Jim Justice and leaders from the West Virginia Department of Transportation today announced that the contract for the last phase of operational and safety improvements on WV Route 10 in southern West Virginia has been awarded to Vecellio & Grogan, Inc., of Beckley.

It is the fifth and final leg of overall WV-10 improvements – spanning a total of more than 70 miles – from Man in Logan County to Kegley in Mercer County.
All five phases of work are part of the Gov. Justice's Roads to Prosperity program.
