Plan Ahead: Road Closures and Alternate Routes to CRW During Cycling Championships

West Virginia International Yeager Airport (CRW) is preparing for the USA Cycling Professional Road National Championships. This event is a key qualifier for the U.S. Olympic Team for the 2024 and 2028 Olympic Games and will take place in Charleston from May 14th to May 19th, 2024. A full schedule and course map are available on the USA Cycling website.

Travelers should note that road closures in Charleston may affect travel to and from the airport. The City of Charleston’s website provides detailed information about these closures. It is advisable to allow extra travel time to CRW on May 18th and 19th due to increased traffic.

CRW has outlined alternative routes to bypass the road closures. For those traveling from I-77S or I-64E, the recommended route is via Exit 99 to Greenbrier St and then to Airport Rd. From I-64W or I-77N, travelers can take Exit 100 to Leon Sullivan Way, then to Washington St, and onto Greenbrier St, where speed limits will be reduced. Alternatively, they can use I-77N to I-79N, taking Exit #5 at Big Chimney to Rt. 114 South to Airport Rd.

For those coming from I-79, the suggested route is Exit #5 at Big Chimney, followed by Rt. 114 South to Airport Rd. These routes are intended to reduce disruptions and ease access to the airport during the event.
