Southeast Interchange
- I-70
- I-79
This is one of the more dangerous places on the I-system. Northbound traffic on I-79 (from West Virginia and beyond) must descend a 70+ meter grade in just over 1.5 km and immediately slow to about 30 km/h at the bottom of the hill to make the turn on the loop ramp of the 'trumpet' interchange at I-70 in order to continue on NB I-79 towards Pittsburgh. I-70 and I-79 are multiplexed for about 5 km around to the north side of Washington where they split, with I-70 going on westward towards Wheeling, WV.

Famous quotes containing the word interchange:
“What men have called friendship is only a social arrangement, a mutual adjustment of interests, an interchange of services given and received; it is, in sum, simply a business from which those involved propose to derive a steady profit for their own self-love.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
