Creation: Created in 1922 as new primary routing, running from WV 4 (now CR 19/41) Muddlety to WV 24 (now US 219/WV 55) Valley Head. This is the only WV 15.
| Adjustments: If WV 15 used CR 15/1 west of Calvin and CR 15/4 and CR 5 through Beaver to Craigsville it stopped doing so by 1931. In 1938, WVDOH studied requesting replacing WV 15 from Craigsville to Webster Springs with an unspecified US route number. It is unclear if they formally requested this or not but it obviously did not happen. In 1941, WV 15 west was truncated to WV 20 Webster Springs leaving behind WV 20 to Craigsville (WV 15 used CR 20/4 Williams Rd in Craigsville and CR 20/22 through Camden on Gauley), WV 41 (now WV 55) to Calvin, and WV 43 (now WV 55) to Muddlety.
In 1955 (bridge date), WV 15 was straightened out from Monterville to Valley Head and was removed from CR 15/5 at Valley Head, moving its eastern endpoint north 1/2 a mile.
Between 1990-92, WV 15 was extended north with WV 20, then replaced Webster CR 5 and Braxton CR 15 to its current WV 4 endpoint.
WV 15 extended to WV 4 2017 Official Improvements: Between 1929-31, WV 15 was paved from Muddlety to Cowen Between 1933-35, WV 15 was paved from Cowen to Ralph Between 1939-42, WV 15 was paved from Monterville to Valley Head Between 1943-46, WV 15 was paved from Ralph to Monterville WV 15 has no multilane segments Comment: WV 15 is pretty winding for the majority of its route. |
