Heading from NJ to TN soon
signalman:
Hey all, first and foremost...admins please move this topic to a regional board if you feel it belongs in one. I wanted to post here since my travels will be in several regions.
I'll be headed to Knoxville, TN in a few weeks where I'll be staying for the night race in Bristol, TN. I'll be traveling I-78 W in NJ and PA to I-81 S through PA, MD, WV, VA, and TN to I-40 W in TN, and the same routes in the opposite direction to go home. I was curious if anyone knows of any long term construction in any of the areas I'll be traveling. I know I-81 is a heavy trucking corridor, and I'm prepared to contend with them. Plus I'm looking forward to finish clinching I-81. Any help and insight would be greatly appreciated.
Also, on a side note...is anyone on here going to Bristol for the race?

On the return trip, you will run into construction northbound on I-81 just past where I-64 joins. They're adding a truck lane, or they were when I drove that stretch in May.
Not going to Thunder Valley. Would rather watch it on TV.

We're actually debating whether to have a road trip board for this forum - so here's another data point! There's some construction on I-81 in PA but I don't recall it affecting traffic very much, just a low speed limit with some drums and barriers.
Alex:
There was repaving ongoing toward the south end of Interstate 81 in Tennessee in June. Plus some work at the interchange with US 25E (Exit 8 ) is ongoing to 2014.
signalman:
Thanks for the heads-up, guys! I'll report on these construction zones after I return home. Also, even though I don't like driving through construction zones, another lane is really needed where I-64 multiplexes. The finished product should help out a lot with traffic flow.
