The I-77 crossing at Fancy Gap is one of the most dangerous interstate corridors in America. Fog blankets this mountain roughly a third of the year, and the steep grade between mile markers 0 and 8 has seen some of the worst chain-reaction pileups in Virginia history.
VDOT installed a $7.5 million variable speed limit system here for a reason. This page exists so you can see what the mountain looks like before you drive it.
