From Wikipedia:
Interstate 77 (I-77) in the U.S. state of West Virginia is a major north-south Interstate Highway. It extends for 187.21 miles (301.29 km) between Bluefield at the Virginia state line and Williamstown at the Ohio state line.
The highway serves Charleston, the capital and largest city in West Virginia; it also serves the cities of Princeton, Beckley and Parkersburg. I-77 uses the entire length of the West Virginia Turnpike, a toll road between Princeton and Charleston, and it runs concurrently with I-64 between Beckley and Charleston.
Historically, the West Virginia Turnpike was a two-lane road with treacherous curves and a tunnel (which has since been decommissioned). Construction began in 1952, several years before the Eisenhower Interstate System was funded. It was only in 1987 that the entire length of the turnpike was upgraded to Interstate standards. Due to the difficulty and lives lost in construction, it has been called "88 miles of miracle."

My, that brings back memories. Catch your trips vids occasionally, generally enjoy them and this one very familiar. Ran this route weekly for a while in the early 2000s. Was good in daylight, spooky in the rain and scary during the winter.
Nice! You made it to West Virginia! West Virginia has some gorgeous highways.

Good to see you on I-77 West Virginia mike! I remember being on i77 with my family when we went up to Kentucky to see my uncle! Hey Mike I've thought of a new name for you would you like to be called Multi State Mike!
I might be weird commenting this but the bridge at 5:01 sounds satisfying to be in a wilderness-like state.

Nice video Mike, but I thought this expressway had tolls. Because it said "turnpike".

It does. It just has the old style with toll booths so I edited some out to keep the video continuous.
