US 29 CORRIDOR
IN VIRGINIA.
Under the 1991 ISTEA \ TEA 21 act VDOT is
conducting a study of
what type of improvements should be done on US 29.
Information on the study with links soon
to come.
North Carolina
has a section of US 29 from I-85 in Greensboro to the Virginia
state line at Danville designated
as a future Interstate corridor when the highway is upgraded to
meet federal Interstate highway standards.
If a section of
US 29 between I-85 to Blairs, Virginia meets Interstate Highway
standards
the highway would be designated as a spur like I-785.
If a section of
US 29 between I-85 in Greensboro to I-64 near Charlottesville or
I-66 at Gainesville,VA
meets Interstate highway standards the highway would be
designated as a main Interstate route like
Interstate 83.
This would be the first & second phase of making I-83 .
A federal study for a Potomac River
crossing west of I-495 will concider the
Western Transportation Corridor accross the Potomac River
allowing I-83 to connect
to I-70 near Mt.Airy, Maryland or I-370 at Gaithersburg, Maryland
then eastward to Maryland's US 29.
