WVDOH awards contract to renovate interstate bridges in Charleston

A project to renovate four interstate bridges on Interstate 77 in Charleston is among 31 construction contracts awarded by the West Virginia Division of Highways (WVDOH) on Thursday, January 29, 2026.

Triton Construction Inc. was awarded a contract for $11,545,000 to renovate the Stadium Place Bridge, Greenbrier Street Bridge, Greenbrier Street Underpass, and Booker T. Washington Bridge on I-77. The bridges will receive deck overlays and minor structural repairs, and are part of a planned renovation of more than 35 bridges in and around Charleston.

"Taking good care of our existing transportation network is a great investment into the future of West Virginia," said Transportation Secretary Todd Rumbaugh. "We'd ask the folks who'll be traveling through this construction work zone, or any work zone, regardless of location to slow down and pay attention. Someone's son or daughter is trying to make a living on that road. Let's make sure they get home safely."

The bid awards are from a bid letting conducted on Tuesday, January 13, 2026.

Several factors are considered before awarding a bid, including whether a bid falls above or below the WVDOH Engineer's Estimate and by what percentage. In cases where a bid is above the Engineer's Estimate, WVDOH must consider the project need, repercussions of not awarding the project, additional funding sources, and whether sufficient reasons exist for the differences in estimates. Most projects are reviewed, analyzed, and awarded within a week of the bid letting, but the process can take longer.

When the Division of Highways has a project that is determined to be best constructed by a contractor, it is processed through the bid letting system. A letting is a scheduled opportunity for contractors to review.​
