Intersection of Route 39 and US Route 60

Gauley Bridge, West VirginiaJan 18, 20100 Comments

The entire town is a speed trap. However, if your origin is Charleston and your destination is Summersville, WV or the opposite, you can make better time by traveling I-79 north out of Charleston to exit 57 and taking US 19 south to Summersville. It is more miles but the 70mph speed limit more than makes up the mileage difference. The real plus is that you will avoid several local and county speed traps: the Gauley Bridge speed trap, the state police have been heavily patroling the unincorporated areas of US 60 in Fayette and Kanawha counties with radar, the Smithers speed trap, the Montgomery speed trap, the Glasco speed trap, the Cedar Grove speed trap and even after you pass the Chelyan bridge that section of US60 all the way to Charleston is 4 lane with speed limit of 55 with very heavy state police presence. Interstate is the only way to go between these locations.
