Clinched Highway Mapping

I stumbled across pics of a Truck US 250 in Phillipi, WV:

Scroll down about 1/3 of the way to the end of the page.

I'm not sure where it goes, but it seems to exist and could be added to the HB.

Google maps does not show the route, but there is a bridge a mile south of the covered bridge clearly visible in the satellite photo. Streetview shows shields for Truck US 250 starting at the west end of the covered bridge, heading south on US 119, turning left, crossing the newer bridge and ending at US 250. Gribblenation has a picture of the US 250 Truck sign from 2004.

Thanks for the heads up. I'll try to work on making this route in a few days.

Created and submitted including tweaks to US-119 and US-250.

Hey Tim, I just revived this topic because it seems you somehow deleted this route from the site. I know I submitted it because it's on the update page, yet I can't find it on the site anymore.

Can you look into re-finding that route file and putting it back up on the site?

(the file name would be: wv.us250trkphi.ggm)

Thanks - it'll go back up today.

I see it's back now. Thus, I'll lock this thread again and move it to the other section. Wink
