“The first phase, expected to be completed next year, runs from U.S. 11 in West Virginia to Md. 63/Md. 68 in Maryland”
There should be no way in or out of Maryland...except the pan handle.
Amen to that. I get off 81 N at Winchester, take all the sneaky back roads through WV to get to Hancock and 68 W, and off I go into the mountains. I haven’t used the I-81 to I-70 ramps in at least fifteen years. More than once, I almost got turned into a bowl of Cream of Viking Soup trying to get in the right lane.
