Revision as of 08:34, 10 February 2007
Interstate 81 is a 846 mile (1361 km) long highway. In Virginia, I-81 runs for 323 miles (520 km). I-81 runs the most 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.
I-81 runs together with Interstate 77 in Wytheville, Virginia for about 10 miles in a notable example of a wrong-way concurrency.

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
- Interstate 381 is a short spur into Bristol.
- Interstate 581 is a spur into Roanoke.
