Final Major Link of I-81 Opened in Virginia
The last major segment of Interstate 81 in Virginia opened near Christiansburg. The 111 mile stretch between Dixie Caverns and Christiansburg was unveiled as Archie Sowers cut the ribbon. Sowers is a 93 year old Montgomery County native who has driven the route since 1904. Deputy state highway commissioner John E. Harwood called the gap critical and said the new segment will boost safety and comfort compared with the old U.S. 460-11.

Wythe Solon Pushes Truck Taxes for Road Funding
Del. Archie Campbell of Wytheville urged Gov. Holton and the State Highway Commission to seek extra highway revenue from big trucks, arguing out of state tractor trailers pay little toward road costs while autos bear most costs. He proposes strengthening the weight distance tax and cites past studies and commission testimony supporting higher truck taxes. The trucking lobby remains influential, Campbell notes, and researchers show heavy trucks cause far more wear than autos.
