After decades of planning, Corridor H is slowly being placed under contract and completed.  In addition to the new 5.5-mile stretch of four-lane expressway near Elkins, three miles in the Moorefield-Baker area have been completed by Union Equipment of a 20-mile segment totaling $265 million.  

Awarded in November 2000 to Dick Corporation of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, the $20.1 million Clifford Hollow Bridge will carry Appalachian Corridor H on a continuous I-girder structure whose six spans of 210, 275, 275, 275, 275 and 210 feet will use nearly 5.2 million pounds of steel.  An adjacent segment of the roadway in the Moorefield-Baker area of Hardy County includes a scenic overlook of the area to be crossed by the bridge.

One of these additional contracts, a major bridge awarded to Dick Corporation of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania for $20.1 million, the Clifford Hollow Bridge may provide one of the most scenic views in Hardy County.  Over one half mile in length, the six-span fabricated steel girder bridge will use over 2.3 million pounds of structural steel.

An adjacent 2.2-mile segment of roadway under contract to Odom Construction of Hermitage, Tennessee, for $33.5 million includes a scenic overlook of the area crossed by the bridge.

Completion dates vary, but the remaining projects in this twenty-mile segment should be done within three years.
