Corridor H is a four-lane divided arterial with a design speed of 65 MPH. Corridor Section 3, approximately two miles in length, is in a previously heavily mined area of the Beaver Creek Valley, where the topography includes unmitigated strip mine areas, ponds, and small streams in addition to the Creek.

An abandoned railroad grade lies between Route 93 and Beaver Creek and is under design by others for use as a bicycle trail. At one location Beaver Creek swings close to the alignment requiring that grading for the bicycle trail be incorporated in the design. Over much of the project bifurcated horizontal and vertical alignments are used to avoid other fill slope interferences with the trail.

Major drainage courses requiring culvert pipes over 60 inches in diameter, are encountered in multiple locations. An extremely busy coal mine access road joins the alignment near the eastern end of the project, requiring an at-grade intersection with turning lanes.

Modjeski and Masters, Inc. is providing roadway design, drainage design, maintenance and protection of traffic, and construction services for this project. Geotechnical, environmental and surveying services were performed by a subconsultant and overseen by Modjeski and Masters personnel.
