Interstate 77 Tunnel at WV - VA line
There is major construction taking place northbound inside the tunnel at the state line. Is there an alternate route you would suggest to avoid the five mile bumper to bumper traffic?

Can anybody say how long the wait is to clear this construction?
I will be returning from Myrtle Beach on August 8th which is a Wednesday.
If the posted detour is that bad is there any other way to avoid this? My final destination is Washington PA just south of Pittsburgh
Thanks

Dave, up 95 to just north of Richmond....then cut across through Winchester VA to I 68 near Hancock MD. Forget the exact route but Im thinking 522 maybe is part of it. We live just east of you and thats the only route we have taken to Myrtle for years. Those 77 backups happen all the time, even when not doing construction. A truck gets a flat tire and the rubberneckers back it up for miles.
Jump off I 68 at Keysers Ridge, run US 40 to Uniontown, pick up 43 to I 70 and eliminate the Morgantown dogleg of 68/79
