VDOT will break ground Monday to widen an uphill, accident-prone stretch of Interstate 81 in Rockbridge County.The project will add a truck climbing lane along a seven mile stretch of northbound I-81 from mile marker 195 north to near Fairfield. That area has several long, steep grades that slow down tractor trailers to unsafe speeds with other drivers trying to get by. The $74-million project is expected to take three years to complete.
