GRUNDY, Va. (AP) - The Coalfields Expressway project in Virginia
is getting a thumbs-down from the Sierra Club.
The national environmental group ranks the project among its
50 worst transportation projects in the nation.
The Coalfields Expressway would run from Pound in Wise
County through Dickinson and
Buchanan counties to Raleigh County
in West Virginia.
In a recent report, the Sierra Club says there's little
traffic demand for a four-lane highway in the region. The group also claims the
highway is being built solely for fossil fuel development.
Virginia Department of Transportation spokeswoman Michelle
Earl tells the Bluefield Daily Telegraph (http://bit.ly/WSDPKI ) that the Coalfields Expressway will
open the region to economic development.
Coal companies are recovering coal reserves as they prepare
road bed for the highway. Earl says that synergy makes the project feasible.
