West Virginia Route 105 (abbreviated WV Route 105 or WV 105) is an east–west state highway located within Weirton, West Virginia, United States. The western terminus of the route is at West Virginia Route 2 north of downtown Weirton. The eastern terminus is at U.S. Route 22 (Exit 5) in Weirton Heights, just 1/2 mile west of the Pennsylvania state line.
All but 200 yards (180 m) of WV 105 is located in Hancock County. The remaining 200 yards (180 m), comprising the U.S. 22 interchange and the north approach, is situated in Brooke County.
Most of WV 105, from the intersection of Pennsylvania Ave. and Colliers Way to the western terminus at Main St./WV 2, was originally U.S. 22 before the Robert C. Byrd Expressway was constructed.
Famous quotes containing the words west and/or route:
“The West is preparing to add its fables to those of the East. The valleys of the Ganges, the Nile, and the Rhine having yielded their crop, it remains to be seen what the valleys of the Amazon, the Plate, the Orinoco, the St. Lawrence, and the Mississippi will produce. Perchance, when, in the course of ages, American liberty has become a fiction of the past,—as it is to some extent a fiction of the present,—the poets of the world will be inspired by American mythology.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“In the mountains the shortest route is from peak to peak, but for that you must have long legs. Aphorisms should be peaks: and those to whom they are spoken should be big and tall of stature.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
