Drive Character
Prepare for a turn-heavy local drive that demands your full attention behind the wheel. Unlike a monotonous interstate grind, this route features zero percent highway share, meaning you will be navigating local roads for the entire 93.3-mile duration.

You should anticipate a consistent rhythm of curves and elevation shifts rather than long, straight stretches. It is a drive that requires you to stay engaged with the steering wheel as you navigate the local infrastructure connecting these two West Virginia hubs.
This route has more turning and local-road decision points than a simple highway run.
There are about 19 navigation steps in the underlying route data, so the final approach matters more than the middle miles.
Webster Road is one of the defining roads on this drive.
