West Virginia officials announced that expanded truck parking is coming to three state facilities through federal grant funding.

On July 11, 2025, U.S. Senator Shelley Moore Capito announced a $24,837,048 grant for the West Virginia Department of Transportation (WVDOT) through the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) BUILD program to construct more truck parking.

The grant will fund the building of more truck parking spaces at three existing West Virginia Division of Highways (WVDOH) facilities along I-81, I-64, and I-79 in Berkeley, Cabell, Monongalia Counties, Capito said.

WBOY reports that truck parking will be added at welcome centers located on I-81 in Berkeley County and I-64 in Cabell County, while former weigh stations located on I-79 in Monongalia County will be transformed into truck parking stalls.

“Efforts to upgrade facilities along West Virginia portions of major interstates will enhance the safety of our drivers, support the regional and national movement of goods, and encourage economic investments across our state. As Chairman of the EPW Committee, I made this investment a priority and I’m thankful DOT recognized its importance. This support will help WVDOT and WVDOH continue their mission of safe and efficient transportation in West Virginia,” Capito said.

The grant was made available through the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act.
