Interstate 77 and U.S. 52 North and Interstate 81 and U.S. 11 South
	Talk about a wrong-way fourplex! Shields for Interstate 77 North, Interstate 81 South, U.S. 11 South, and U.S. 52 North just past Exit 80. The four highways remain on the same highway for seven more miles before U.S. 11 exits off at Exit 73, which will be followed by the departure of Interstate 77 a mile later. (Photo taken 3/20/03)

	Interstate 77 North officially leaves Interstate 81 South behind here. Another lane has been set aside for those wanting to head towards the Mountain State. The wrong-way duplexing continues, as the mainline remains as Interstate 81 South and U.S. 52 North. It is easy to get confused around here! (Photo taken 3/21/03)
