I-77 WV

[pbeverly]

I will be coming up from NC on I-77 into WV heading to New River Gorge. I am seeing there are tolls on I-77 in WV. I looked at the website and found it confusing. They do not accept cards for toll payment. I will be pulling a TT so will have a total of 4 axels. Trying to get a handle on what the tolls will be so I can be ready.

They charge by the axle and why not an EZ pass?

EZ pass does not allow to configure for the situation, truck with 2 axles pulling TT with 2 axles. Concern would be that I drive through EZ pass lane towing a TT and the authorities know that EZ pass can't be configured that way.

I also looked at the Uproad app. It also cannot be configured for this situation. In addition if you do the Pay as You Go method they tack on 15%. 15% of $4 not a big deal, 15% of $41 isn't worth it.

Went up through there last October with fifth wheel--4 axles. Paid nothing close to that commercial rate.

Here lies some of my confusion. That truck rate of 41.25 makes me think of commercial truck. Is a pickup truck towing a TT the same rate as a commercial truck? If it is that is fine. I will look into using Uproad as that would be better than stopping and paying.

I travel that road from NC a lot. As I remember you only have 1 toll before exiting on 19 to the gorge. During covid we spent a week at the gorge and surrounding area. Can't help you with the tolls as we sometimes have 5 axles, sometimes 4 and sometimes 2. I use an EZ Pass so have no idea the cost as it comes out automatically. I went up in Dec and I think the sign said $4.25 for a car at each toll booth. Don't miss the coal mine exhibit at Fayetteville. Also that link above is not the official WV website. I saw one flaw right off, the turnpike ends at Charleston. There is a big sign right there thanking you for using the WV Turnpike----but I-77 goes from border to border. Just remembered, I'll be going up this weekend, maybe on Sat so I'll report back.
