usroadman Posted July 20, 2012 Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 Drove US 48 end to end a few weeks ago, at least the part that has been built and signed. The route was designated US 48 pretty recently (it's the third time 48 has been used for a route) and much of the route through West Virginia hasn't been completed yet. It starts in the east at I-81 in northern Virginia and follows a two-lane over the mountains into West Virginia. After meandering through Wardensville, it becomes a four-lane divided, but with no traffic and some very pretty views (even in super-oppressive heat). After about a half hour we reached the current end of the road. Photos are here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobilene Posted July 20, 2012 Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 Nice. Way to hit the lesser-known routes. Looks like the VA portion is just State Route 55 with US 48 signs on it. -Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roadtrip62 Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 Amazing that anyone is signing new US-routes, after so many have been decomissioned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
