Coalfields Expressway Study Featured by WVVA
A preliminary engineering study led by ATCS, in partnership with the Virginia Coalfields Expressway Authority and VDOT, was recently featured in WVVA News. The study evaluates the long-term transportation and economic benefits of completing the Coalfields Expressway (CFX), a key corridor for improving mobility and supporting regional transition in Southwest Virginia.
Key findings from the study include:
- Cut travel times by up to 40%
- Improve freight access and reliability
- Support economic transition beyond coal
- Enhance regional mobility and emergency response
- Identify diverse pathways to fund the remaining segments
The study was presented in December 2025 and reflects future conditions modeling through 2045, along with input from regional stakeholders.
