Improvements are coming to Interstate 81, but not without some costs associated with it. Virginia lawmakers on Wednesday approved funding for I-81 improvements, by approving a two percent higher gas tax rate and an increase in truck registration fees. The funding does not include the use of a toll system. Governor Northam says the improvements will help reduce delays and eliminate 450 crashes each year. The plan calls for an increase in gas taxes along the I-81 corridor.
