Mountaintop Removal Highway delayed for further review

Federal Highways has called for an environmental review of the Coalfields Expressway before the project can move forward. This major victory comes as a result of 85,000 people across the country who stood up and expressed concerns about this mountaintop removal project being disguised as a highway.

Over the course of the next 18 months, the Virginia Department of Transportation will be tasked with completing a review that assesses the public health and environmental harms of the proposal and examines a full suite of alternatives.
