What's Being Done
The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT), in cooperation with the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), is currently conducting a location study to evaluate alternatives to meet existing and future travel needs in the study area between Exit 72 and Exit 81 on co-located Interstate 81 and 77 near Wytheville. To facilitate this action, VDOT and FHWA completed a Tier 1 Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) and Record of Decision (ROD) in 2007, and this Environmental Assessment (EA) serves as the second tier study.
