Map of WV-10, West Virginia, USA
Between the towns of West Hamlin and Man, most of the route closely parallels the course of the Guyandotte River. Thus, it follows a very winding course, with a solid rocks just inches from the roadway, and is thus very dangerous. It is currently receiving an upgrade from Man to Logan to a four-lane highway built to the same standards as the Appalachian Corridor system. Currently about one-third of the route is finished and open to traffic, between Man and Rita. The section from Rita to Logan is under construction.
