From Wikipedia:
Interstate 77 (I-77) in the U.S. state of West Virginia is a major north-south Interstate Highway. It extends for 187.21 miles (301.29 km) between Bluefield at the Virginia state line and Williamstown at the Ohio state line.
The highway serves Charleston, the capital and largest city in West Virginia; it also serves the cities of Princeton, Beckley and Parkersburg. I-77 uses the entire length of the West Virginia Turnpike, a toll road between Princeton and Charleston, and it runs concurrently with I-64 between Beckley and Charleston.
Historically, the West Virginia Turnpike was a two-lane road with treacherous curves and a tunnel (which has since been decommissioned). Construction began in 1952, several years before the Eisenhower Interstate System was funded. It was only in 1987 that the entire length of the turnpike was upgraded to Interstate standards. Due to the difficulty and lives lost in construction, it has been called "88 miles of miracle."

Nice! You made it to West Virginia! West Virginia has some gorgeous highways.
My, that brings back memories. Catch your trips vids occasionally, generally enjoy them and this one very familiar. Ran this route weekly for a while in the early 2000s. Was good in daylight, spooky in the rain and scary during the winter.
Next time you go thru Princeton wv. Please do Stop at Tudors biscuit world they have the very best biscuits in the world

I might be weird commenting this but the bridge at 5:01 sounds satisfying to be in a wilderness-like state.
Kinds sounds like the bridges in Texas
there are quite a few ppl on this channel who listen to the sound that is caused by the tires going on road grooves (including myself)
That's the old coal mines train tressel bridge
Great drive on interstate 77 north
Beautiful drive
Geeezz is this how ppl without a fear of heights feel. I wanted to vomit the entire time
You have nerves of steel! How do you deal with some of these drivers, meandering all over the roadway!
Lol, lots of coffee
I-77 Northbound West Virginia on July 3, 2013. Units of Highways in 2022.
Nice video Mike, but I thought this expressway had tolls. Because it said "turnpike".
It does. It just has the old style with toll booths so I edited some out to keep the video continuous.
@@MileageMikeTravels Oh, that makes sense. They are probably gonna update it soon.
It does you can zip thru them with a ez pass on your windshield
