    Can anyone tell me the best way from Carlisle to Altavista VA? Looks like lots of skinny roads. Thanks

    I-81 SB to I-64 EB to U.S. Route 29 SB to Alta Vista.Good truck route. If you do not use 64, you can take 460 near Roanoke to 29 . Caution - A lot of the roads between 81 and 29 are truck length restricted.

    Thanks a lot. That’s kind of what I was worried about. Lots of ways but no good truck route. Guess I will go to 29 and down. Thanks again.

    Roanoke 460 to 29s is 4 lanes. you'll even pass a few fuel stops on the way down 29

    Is that shorter than straight down 29?
