Immobile home: WVDOT gives owner time to move structure from side of road
Jun. 10—MORGANTOWN — For the past several weeks, a mobile home has sat unattended alongside the intersection of Grafton Road and Scott Avenue, causing a potential road hazard to motorists traveling along those roads. However this isn't the first time this house has been a roadside unattractive. Before it wound up in its current location, it had been left for weeks along the Kingwood Pike near the Interstate 68 overpass. The West Virginia Department of Transportation has been in contact with the owner of the home and has given the owner time to get the home moved from next to the roadway, according to spokesman Brent Walker. "We are in contact with the owner, and we're working with them trying to give them a little bit more time to make arrangements to move the mobile home, " Walker said. "We are just trying to give him a little bit more time before it'll have to be moved by us." Walker added several groups have been in contact with the owner of the home to try and get it moved from its current position. "It takes a special permit " to move it, he said. "We're not able to just get in there and lift it. It's the owner's responsibility, so we're just working with him and letting him know that he has a little bit more time." Walker added he would like to have the home moved sooner rather than later, but no specific timeframe has been given yet.
