The promise was to keep Corridor H a priority and continue supporting funding for its completion, not necessarily to finish the entire corridor during the term. Capito voted for and helped advance the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, which provided ADHS funding relevant to Corridor H, and later announced a specific $23 million federal grant for the Waites Run to Virginia state line segment. A Corridor H segment was also completed during the same term, while evidence confirms the full corridor remains unfinished. Overall, the funding-support promise was fulfilled in the same federal term.
