Demolition crews have begun tearing down homes along Route 2 in Sistersville as part of a major development project tied to the new Sistersville General Hospital. So far, three houses have been demolished to make way for new entrances to the facility, which is scheduled for completion in 2026.

The cleared land will provide improved access to the upcoming hospital, a key component of the region’s expanded healthcare infrastructure. Officials say the demolition is a critical step in preparing the site for construction-related upgrades and future traffic flow.

The new hospital aims to enhance medical services in Tyler County and surrounding areas, bringing updated facilities and expanded care options to the community. Construction is expected to ramp up in the coming months.
