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:
“The press and politicians. A delicate relationship. Too close, and danger ensues. Too far apart and democracy itself cannot function without the essential exchange of information. Creative leaks, a discreet lunch, interchange in the Lobby, the art of the unattributable telephone call, late at night.”
—Howard Brenton (b. 1942)
