The stats about the amount of earth excavated for the tunnel (30 million cubic yards) versus the bypass (10 million cubic yards) cannot be correct. A massive amount of the mountain was completely removed to make the bypass - enough to completely fill in the deep culvert on the south side of the tunnel, allowing the bridge to be removed. An order of magnitude more earth had to be removed to make the bypass, yet the article states that 3 times as much earth was removed just to make the small hole through the mountain for the tunnel. This cannot be correct. -- Dan East ( talk) 04:19, 6 July 2009 (UTC) reply

Bingo, found a source. WV DOT says only 96,000 cubic yards were excavated in making the tunnel, and that was "dwarfed" by the amount excavated to make the bypass. [1] -- Dan East ( talk) 04:19, 6 July 2009 (UTC) reply
