(Redirected from Interstate 81 (Virginia))

I-81 runs for more miles in Virginia than in any other state, running from the Tennessee state line in Bristol to the West Virginia state line near Winchester. U.S. Route 11 parallels I-81 in Virginia for its entire length and they are many exits that lead passengers to US 11.

Future


The state has proposed to widen its entire portion of I-81 to a minimum of three or four lanes in each direction to accommodate increased truck traffic and to toll non-passenger vehicles. Some sections of the new Virginia I-81 may completely separate car and truck traffic.[1].

Auxiliary routes
