  • Driving The Tunnels Of Interstate 77. Enjoy a travel video driving through the East River Mountain Tunnel as well as the Big Walker Mountain Tunnel as I drive southbound on I-77. Along the way, you get to see some of the scenery as we travel through the Appalachian Mountains. The East River Mountain Tunnel is at the West Virginia/Virginia border. Southbound, you enter the tunnel in West Virginia and exit it in Virginia. The Big Walker Mountain Tunnel is not too far beyond that near the town of Wytheville, VA. A beautiful and scenic ride through the mountains.

    About every few miles there are signs telling slower drivers to use the right lane. So it furiates me at times is when two vehicles are side by side and you're trying the pass, but the "camper" in the left lane is oblivious to that rule.

    I'm from Ohio and tomorrow i'm taking a 3 week trip to SC. We go every summer and I love these tunnels with the mountains around them!

    I live somewhat near these. Next time you should go over the mountain. There's an overlook on the WV side that overlooks a (former) Big Kmart.

      @amberbryant8141, you should try going through the bay bridge tunnels, they're very interestingly amazing. My first time going through those, I thought we were actually going under water. One time when I was on vacation in the Outer Banks, someone got broken down in one of the tunnels. I told my parents about it and they weren't surprised because you literally can't pull off to the side in those tunnels which is a bummer, not even if you're carsick.

    This is very nostalgic for me! This was my ticket to Myrtle Beach from western PA right here. Beautiful mountains all the way and the double tunnel part here was always fun. Thanks Wallie for reminding me of good memories. I’ll vouch that if you get the chance to drive this highway to do it!

    Lived in wv first 28 years. Went through both these tunnels so many times. Bluefield to Wytheville over and over.
    Haven't been there in nearly 10 years....but nearly everytime coming thru the Bluefield tunnel to Va....ALWAYS ORANGE BARRELS. LOL.

    • @shainahullihen1159
      @shainahullihen1159 Před rokem

      @michaelhannel4083, those are my favorite tunnels, long bridge though. I don't know why people would just fall off of it when driving. But it's a nice bridge and tunnels, unless it's windy or you get stuck in traffic behind an accident, than that's not so great. My brother hates the tunnels though. Someone got broken down in one of the tunnels when I was on vacation in the Outer Banks 😢.

    I have to travel through both of these tunnels every time to enter Virginia but it's always nice to drive through. The flea markets in my old town of Hillsville, Virginia is one of the best places. I've had decent luck but main goal is finding Fleer baseball cards especially 1989 because there's a specific card I want. So I'm hoping to get lucky in September

    I love the vintage "Pennys" logo in your intro. @0:05. Always thought JCPenney should bring that back and get away from the Macy's and Target red and make themselves unique.

    A little further south is the unique 77/81 merger. For a few miles you are on 77S and 81N

    Both of those tunnels look like they’re in pretty good shape, unlike the tunnels on the PA Turnpike.
    BTW, I’ll be going down that way next month. Going to the Sevierville/Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg area for a couple of days. While I’m there, I will be checking out the newly opened Buc-ee’s! 🦫🦪
