[[w:Interstate 81|Interstate 81]] one of the busiest highways on the East Coast. It is two lanes in each direction, with designated truck climbing lanes along steep inclines. Traffic varies depending on time of day, but tends to be very heavy on game days. In many cases though a private vehicle is the only way you can reach the town.
Alternate routes from Roanoke to Blacksburg that can by pass some traffic backups (excluding game days) include 460 and Blacksburg road.
