Shane Burkett has been watching the Interstate 81 Potomac River bridge work from the cab of a tractor-trailer.
Now that the new third lanes are open in each direction, the semi driver likes what he sees. I think it s great. I-81 is a massive highway. . It s a big help having that third lane now, the Williamsport, Md., resident said.
The Maryland Department of Transportation State Highway Administration formally announced completion of the $104.6 million project Feb. 11.
The work, which has been years in the making, widened the interstate from two lanes to three lanes in each direction from near Exit 23 in West Virginia, across the Potomac River to near Exit 1 in Maryland.
