Interstate 79 , the " Jennings Randolph Expressway " , provides highway access to Elkview from exit 9 . U.S. Route 119 also reaches Elkview . A shopping center was built off I-79 , which includes a new La Quinta Inns and Suites , Kroger , K-Mart , and several fast food restaurants . Hundreds of people were stranded at this shopping center during the 2016 West Virginia flood , as the bridge leading to it from the interstate was washed away
