While looking at VA 9, I noticed that Google maps showed WV 115 being extended over the old WV 9 east of US 340. This is also shown on this Jefferson County GIS (http://gis.transportation.wv.gov/GISCountyMaps/JeffersonSheet%202.pdf) map from WVDOT. However, WV 115 does not seem to be posted at what would be its new eastern end at WV 9 (https://www.google.com/maps/@39.2619441,-77.7632633,3a,75y,341.02h,82.72t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1skqvbzuFM6EJGs88ezGcZYQ!2e0!7i13312!8i6656). It is posted to continue past US 340 (https://www.google.com/maps/@39.2732651,-77.8467698,3a,75y,46.71h,73.75t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sJeDi4SqOGwWCzFf4p6wlsw!2e0!7i13312!8i6656) though.

some discussion on the old forum (http://clinched.s2.bizhat.com/viewtopic.php?p=16702&mforum=clinched#16702)

I think that Jefferson map is more than enough to verify the extension to where it goes for sure now. That was one of the main reasons why I didn't extend it in the first place as I didn't know where for sure it went past US-340.
So, I'll work on an update to officially extend it now when I get a chance. :)

OK if I lock the topic on the old forum for housekeeping purposes?

Thanks for finding that, I tried to look over there but could not find anything recent and felt that it was too tedious to look through every thread.

As I recall, maps before suggested the extension but the reason we didn't include it was because it hadn't been signed yet. If it still isn't signed, I see no reason to change things.

I've just pushed an update to extend WV-115 back to WV-9. As far as I can tell, WV 'will' post this extension fully sometime in the future. I mean, they did start posting it from US-340 with no other 'logical' end point other than WV-9. Plus the Jefferson still shows this.

As I recall, it was already that way 5 years ago. And at the time, I distinctly recall the decision was made to NOT extend WV 115 until WVDOH actually put signs up.
