Route description

The western terminus of the route is at West Virginia Route 32 in Davis, Tucker County. It is concurrent with U.S. Route 48 (Corridor H) between Davis and Bismarck. WV 93 passes by the Mount Storm Lake near Mount Storm. WV 93 then runs concurrent with West Virginia Route 42 upon descending the Allegheny Front.[1]

Until July 2017, the eastern terminus was at U.S. Route 50 southwest of Claysville in Mineral County. In July 2017, WV 972 was decommissioned, and WV 93 was extended eastward, running concurrent with US 50 to the former WV 972 near New Creek, and then following the former route of WV 972 through New Creek. It terminates at an intersection with US 220 (Cut-Off Road).[2]
