Hello all.

I am needing some travel advice. My brother-in-law has just passed away and we will be going up to Pennsylvania for the services this week.

I will be picking my son up at App State and then we will be heading up. Can anyone tell me what kind of road rt 221 N going to I-77 is? Is it faster than going east on 421 then to I-77? I know 221 is much shorter but if its a slow trip then it is not worth it.

Thanks for your time

Jeff

Take 421 to I-77. 221 is one lane and winding in many places.

Thanks. Just looking at the road through google it looked like 221 would be a slow trip. I appreciate the advice.

Take 421. 221 is slower and two lane so you chance getting stuck behind someone. But if you dont mind the extra 20-30 minutes it is a really pretty drive.

No problem. I live in VA and decided to come that way once...never again. It is two lanes (not sure why I originally said one lane) and can be difficult to get around slower traffic.
