 I'm
daggone sure this is I-77 and I-81, which is a North-South wrong way
multiplex in the finger of Virginia. |
 One
of these days I'm going to drive the Blue Ridge Parkway. |
 I-77
goes to Charlotte, as this unnecessary two-sign assembly says.
Couldn't they find a big enough BGS? |
 Here's
the split of I-77 and I-81. |
 At
US 58 and US 221. |
 A
rural scene. |
 This
is the coolest part of I-77, where the interstate runs along a ledge looking
over a wide valley. There's fog and everything! |
 There's
the valley. And there's the fog. |
 The
road is kinda curvy here, too. |
 There's
that valley again! |
 The
last exit in Virginia here, at Route 620. |
 Entering
North Carolina. |
 I-74
mysteriously appears here, after taking a break since Cincinnati. |
 Approaching
the Winston-Salem area. |
 It
got a little rainy near I-40. |
 But
it dried out in time to hit Charlotte, still on I-77 SB. |
 Charlotte
has an HOV lane. |
 You
can see the skyline from here. Barely. |
 I
think NCDOT did a fine job with designing this part of I-77. Although
it still is a bit crowded. |
 There's
a wider view of the skyline. |
 Getting
to I-277, not the same one as in Akron, OH. |
 Blurry
shot of I-77 and US 21 SB shields. |
 A
close-up shot of the Charlotte skyline. |
 Hmmm.
They got rid of the HOV lane without me noticing. |
 A
big, empty BGS for I-485, which currently is not complete. |
 Big
flyover ramps for I-485 about a mile north of the SC line. |
 South
Carolina's portion of I-77 in the Charlotte area is just as wide as North
Carolina's. |
 I-77
and US 21 go their separate ways. |
