WV: WV 279 continues (or extended?) west of I-79
« on: June 07, 2017, 07:11:02 pm »
While visiting family near Bridgeport WV, I noticed that WV 279 is posted as continuing west of I-79 (link), but the signage on where WV 279 ends west of I-79 is not clear.  It looks like it ends at Route 707 before the FBI gate but there is no signage for WV 279 here (link).  The highway browser page shows WV 279 ending at I-79.

 This is explicitly shown on the 2017 Gen Hwy map - http://www.transportation.wv.gov/highways/programplanning/gti/GIS/MAPS/Documents/Genhwy.pdf
 Also shown explicit;y on the 2014 Harrison County map - ftp://gis.transportation.wv.gov/2014CountyMaps/Harrison_1_of_2.pdf

Yet signage @ CR-707 right before the FBI enterence shows that CR-707 heads 'south' towards I-79. https://goo.gl/maps/YaHygYNNY6S2

However, I do see signage even on the I-79 SB ramp showing WV-279 heads 'West' from the interchange.

Still, I think I will extend it over to CR-707 when I get the chance.
