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.
