Report

Labor Day 2026 in West Virginia

What the WV511 feed carried over the holiday weekend.

Driving across West Virginia

The West Virginia Turnpike, I-77 and I-64, climbs about 88 miles of grades and curves between Princeton and Charleston, runaway-truck-ramp country. I-79 runs north from Charleston toward Morgantown and Pennsylvania. I-64 crosses the state from the Virginia line through Charleston toward Huntington. I-68 and US-19, Corridor L past the New River Gorge, carry the northern and shortcut traffic.

What the season does to West Virginia's highways

West Virginia's mountains make their own weather. Fog banks settle into the hollows and across the Turnpike's high stretches with no warning, winter ice arrives early at elevation and lingers late, and heavy rain brings rockfall and slides onto the roadway. Closures and restrictions are announced by route and milepost. WV511's cameras are live video, and some streams go offline for stretches.

Before a West Virginia road trip

  1. Check the map above for anything red on your route, then open WV511 for the DOT's own detour and restriction text.
  2. Look at the road. The West Virginia cameras show the pavement itself, and most carry the mile marker.
  3. For the long haul, the I-70 and I-81 corridor pages carry alerts for every state the route crosses, not only West Virginia.
  4. Know how to say where you are. Dispatch, 911 and tow companies ask for the route, the direction and the mile marker. How to report your location on the highway.
  5. Carry the app. The mile marker works offline in all 50 states, and the same WV511 alerts show on your route as you drive.

What October looked like

In October 2026, MileCheck's archive of the WV511 feed held 95 unique reports, including 95 work-zone reports. The routes with the most reports were I-79, US-119 and I-77. Counts reflect what the feed publishes, so a state whose DOT posts only closures shows only closures. Read the October Highway Report.

Questions, answered

Is the highway closed in West Virginia right now?

The map above shows full closures from the WV511 feed as red markers, crashes in orange, and weather and hazard alerts in blue and purple. Closures the DOT has posted for a future date are listed as scheduled, and ramp and lane closures sit under the toggle so the list stays readable. The page checks MileCheck's feed every five minutes. If the feed cannot be reached the page says so instead of showing an empty map. For the official list, open WV511.

Where do I check West Virginia road conditions?

WV511 is the official source, and dialing 511 in most states reaches the same information by phone. This page reads the same WV511 feed and adds the West Virginia cameras, the corridor and pass pages, and your own mile marker if you carry the app.

How often does this page update?

This page checks MileCheck's feed every five minutes. WV511 updates individual reports on its own schedule. Source update times are shown when available.

Does the MileCheck app show these alerts?

Yes. The app shows the same WV511 alerts on your route, ahead of your position, with the mile marker you are passing. The mile marker works offline in all 50 states. Live alerts are part of MileCheck Premium, $19.99 a year or $4.99 a month after a 2-week free trial.
