Interstate 81 is an 846 mile (1361 km) long highway. In Virginia, I-81 runs for 323 miles (520 km), making it longer in Virginia than in any other state. It stretches from the Tennessee state line near Bristol to the West Virginia state line near Winchester. U.S. Route 11 parallels I-81 in Virginia for its entire length.
I-81 runs concurrently with Interstate 77 in Wytheville, Virginia for about 10 miles in a notable example of a wrong-way concurrency.

Future
The state has proposed to widen its entire portion of I-81 to a minimum of three or four lanes in each direction to accommodate increased truck traffic and to toll non-passenger vehicles. Some sections of the new Virginia I-81 may completely separate car and truck traffic. [http://virginiadot.org/projects/constSTAN-I81-overview.asp] .
