This is the western end of Interstate 68 in West Virginia.  These pictures were taken the end of March, 2002.

<----This is the runaway truck ramp heading Eastbound.

The rest of these pictures were taken in order heading westbound.  Some aren't too good but give me a break.....if we didn't stop to get the picture it was taken at 70 m.p.h.

Trucks - Steep grade 3 mi. ahead

Trucks must exit completely off the interstate.  Above is the area they pull into.

Trucks - 5% Grade Next 4 miles.

This is the exit of the mandatory truck stop.  Trucks drive a short ways on a 2 lane road (which dead ends), then they turn left onto the road from which they re-enter the interstate.

Trucks - 30 m.p.h. Bottom of Grade
