How solid is this? West Virginia is documented from a high-confidence agency source, linked above, but we have not yet verified contract-binding specification language the way we have for the states in the full analysis. What governs your job is your contract and its special provisions — check them. This page is a stub until that verification is done, and it is deliberately excluded from search results so it cannot pass itself off as more than it is.

On federal-aid work, 23 CFR 630 Subparts J and K apply whatever West Virginia specifies, with a compliance date of December 31, 2026 — the federal floor, explained. And after an incident the questions come from the incident, not the specification: 105 published judicial matters on that.

DTCD produces this record from the drive-through itself, and names the controlling West Virginia requirement on the generated PDF. Open a sample before deciding anything.

Filing a work-zone request in West Virginia?

Draw the closure on a map and the builder reads the route, mileposts and county from West Virginia’s own public GIS, checks bridge clearance on the route and the detour, and exports a WZDx feature, a PDF or an email. It runs in the browser — nothing is submitted or stored.

What changes at the West Virginia state line

Crews rarely work one state, and the record a neighbouring DOT expects is often named differently and cited somewhere else entirely. Here is how the states bordering West Virginia compare:

Kentucky	Section 112 (Maintenance and Control of Traffic) + standard Project Note "II. TRAFFIC COORDINATOR"	Contract-binding spec language
Maryland	Section 104 (Maintenance of Traffic) — PTS daily log + Traffic Barrier daily visual inspection clauses	Contract-binding spec language
Ohio	Section 614 (Maintaining Traffic) + ODOT Manual of Procedures Section 614 + ODOT D4 General Notes M401	Contract-binding spec language
Pennsylvania	Not yet verified	Agency source, high confidence
Virginia	Section 105.14 (WZTC Accreditation) + Section 512 (Maintaining Traffic) + project Special Provisions + VDOT LAP Manual Chapter 13	Binding language identified
