CHARLESTON, W.Va. — Traffic on the West Virginia Turnpike was heavier than expected during the first two days of the Thanksgiving travel week, state officials said. More than 721,000 vehicles passed through Turnpike toll booths from Tuesday, Nov. 22 through Sunday, Nov. 27, state transportation officials said. Traffic for the two days before Thanksgiving was nearly 2,000 vehicles higher than predicted, officials said. “We were well staffed, and our crews worked very hard to ensure that traffic got through as quickly as possible,” said Jeff Miller, executive director of the West Virginia Parkways Authority.
