Bumpy Road Ahead

When the Harrisonburg stretch of Interstate 81 was completed in the mid-1960s, it wasn’t unusual for someone looking out over road to go hours without seeing a car or truck. Times sure have changed. Now the highway has a steady stream of traffic and is often congested due in part to heavy use by tractor-trailers. Federal funding for I-81 and other highways in Virginia is uncertain, at best.
