Southbound on I-81 at mile marker 121-122 in Virginia can be a problem also. They are blasting for a truck lane at this point many weekday mornings around 10am to noon and close the interstate. they detour the traffic at exit 132 over to Route 11/460. i have seen traffic backed up six miles on some days past exit 137 where I get off. I don't believe that there would be another route to take so you may want to plan on being in this area at times that do not coincide with the blasting
