    I have to go to Herndon VA and will be coming into Harrisburg PA. Can I run 15 South all the way and then go across from Leedsburg VA> I haven;t been to that part of the world in over 7 years and my spidey senses tell me there may be an issue south of Frederick.

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    I use to run VA-7 to US-340 to US-15 and up to US-30 east when I delivered in Lancaster, PA area.

    The only thing is the US-340 bridge across the Potomoc is restricted. I forget what. Seems like it what 65,000. All the trucks would run it though. I even passed bears before nearby. I think because it's on the state line nobody bothers. I use to drive fast before it collapsed under me. :biggrin_2559:
    I'm not sure of the US-15 bridge which is the next one down river. US-15 is not a designated truck route in VA except in bits and pieces

    I would run I-81 South to I-70 East to I-270 East to I-495. Either take the 267 toll or run VA-7 across

    Thanks for all your replies.

    First trip I ran down 15 from Harrisburg, picked up 340 and then Route 7. There;s no weight/length restrictions on this route and my travel time was 3:15.

    Second trip I ran down from from Harrisburg, in I-270, around 495 and in 123 to 606 and my travel time was 2:45.

    The signs on Route 7 # Leedsburg indicate Route 15 is restricted to a Maximum Gross Weight of 10,000 Lbs. No overall/trailer length was noted on the sign.
