WVDOT Crossings Book Showcasing West Virginia Bridges to be Released

CHARLESTON— Secretary of Transportation Paul Mattox has announced the release of the book Crossings – Bridge Building in West Virginia. This coffee table-size hardback accompaniment to the award-winning documentary of the same name will be sent to every middle and high school, college, university and public library in the state.

"I am pleased to be able to announce the completion and distribution of the book Crossings – Bridge Building in West Virginia," stated Secretary Mattox. "This wonderful companion piece does with words and pictures what the award-winning documentary captures with film images. We are happy to share it with the public."

"This book was a labor of love," said author Carol Melling, retired director of Public Affairs for the Division of Highways. "It summarizes Highways’ greatest achievements over the 35 years I was privileged to learn from some of the country’s top bridge engineers and historic experts."
