Establishing comprehensive highway paving plan
SB 178 requires the West Virginia Division of Highways Commissioner to create and annually submit a comprehensive plan for routine repaving of all asphalt-surfaced state roads. The bill amends existing law to mandate this annual plan, directly affecting the Division of Highways' maintenance operations. Key provisions include establishing a structured repaving schedule and requiring the plan to be presented to the Legislature each year. This focuses on systematic road maintenance rather than new construction or emergency repairs. The bill does not specify funding mechanisms or timelines for repaving.
