Crescent Corridor
West Virginia
“Existing transportation resources cannot deal with the ever-increasing needs of our nation’s freight transportation network. The Crescent project will provide a new freight corridor to remove over 1 million trucks a year from our already strained national interstate system, and do so in a timely, environmentally friendly, and altogether cheaper way.”
