Highways
Campbell County is bisected by three major highways. U.S. Route 460 travels east-west
across the northernmost boundary of the county and U.S. Routes 29
and 501 travel north-south through the county. U.S. Routes 460 and 29 are four-lane highways with limited-access bypasses around Altavista and Lynchburg (U.S. 29) and a bypass around Lynchburg (U.S. 460). These highways provide quick and save access to major markets across the region, including Greensboro, Raleigh-Durham, Richmond, Roanoke, and Northern Virginia.

Amtrak presently operates passenger rail service from Lynchburg's Kemper Street Station. Amtrak's Crescent line, which runs from New Orleans to New York City, stops twice per day at the station.
