Westbound Views
Welcome to West Virginia! I-68 enters the state from Maryland while passing through the sort of mountainous terrain for which West Virginia is known. I-68 has three westbound lanes at the state line in order to accommodate slow-moving vehicles. There is a rest area and welcome center at the top of the hill.
