Central Va road restrictions

Question

There is an exit off Interstate 81 near central VA that is not recommended for Rvs or Campers. It travels through the Blue Ridge Parkway area.  The exit is posted as not GPS advised.  I'm planning a trip near that area, but can't find any information on the state web site concerning this travel warning.  Does anyone know which exit this is?  I would love to plan an alternate route now than be surprised on my trip!

Take a look at this site. I think it can answer many of your questions. Especially note the tunnel clearances, which are 10'6". Most RVs cannot navigate that low, but these are listed.

I certainly don't know them all, but one that I do know, is Rt 56, between the Parkway &amp; Steeles Tavern, VERY narrow, VERY winding, and very hilly. Use google maps Street View to take a look.

Hello, I think you are talking about US43 south out of Buchanan that goes to the Blue Ridge Parkway.

Thanks....the exit given on mapquest is Buchanan, (43south)  and using google earth, I couldn't really tell if that was the route to avoid...it probably is, I'll plan ahead now!!
