Tourists can enjoy historic and natural wonders along the way like the Newport News Naval Base, Williamsburg, Jamestown, Richmond, Charlottesville and the Blue Ridge Mountains. The eastern terminus of I-64 is not the road's easternmost point. From the point where the road enters Chesapeake, I-64 east actually runs westward, ending at a location known as Bower's Hill near the edge of the Great Dismal Swamp. Covering 75 miles in Virginia, the western terminus of I-66 is at Middletown, Virginia, at an intersection with I-81. Its eastern terminus is in Washington, D.C. Because I-66 is the only major highway running west from Washington, D.C., into Virginia, traffic on the road is often extremely heavy. No single-passenger vehicles are allowed to come onto the highway at all within the beltway in the direction of rush-hour traffic. I-77 crosses Virginia in the beautiful scenery for just 67 miles along "Virginia's Technology Corridor" and through one of the poorest rural sections of Virginia. Between Wytheville, Virginia, and Bluefield, West Virginia, two mountain tunnels permit lane changes while inside, which is very unusual for vehicular tunnels. After entering Virginia from West Virginia near Winchester, Virginia, I-81 parallels the Blue Ridge Parkway all the way down into Tennessee. While it may not have the charm of the Parkway, it does have the beautiful scenery. A trip down the Parkway and back north on I-81, or vice versa, is a great trip. I-85 follows U.S. 1 from North Carolina to its northern terminus where it intersects with I-95 in Petersburg. The former Richmond-Petersburg Turnpike formed the northernmost portion of I-85 when it was completed in 1958. The tolls were removed in 1992. From D.C. to North Carolina, I-95 passes through Fredericksburg, Richmond and Petersburg, all-important Civil War battle areas.
