Since Gov. Jim Justice and the West Virginia Division of Highways (WVDOH) announced Operation R.I.P. Potholes on Tuesday, January 30, 2024, WVDOH road crews have patched 73,360 potholes along 5,744 miles of road. WVDOH road crews continue to take advantage of the unseasonably warm weather during an early patching blitz.

Pothole patching typically doesn’t begin until the first week of April, but WVDOH officials worked with asphalt plant owners in St. Albans, Morgantown, and Princeton to open early this season, allowing road crews to make permanent pothole repairs with hot asphalt. As crews are out patching, they are finding that some stretches of road may have numerous potholes to patch, while some stretches may have none.

Asphalt plants are now opening in other parts of the state, allowing hot patching to occur in almost every one of the Mountain State’s 55 counties
