The Seminole Corridor
US Route 29 runs north-to-south in the eastern United States for over 1,000 miles from Maryland to Florida and cuts through the center of Campbell County, connecting the City of Lynchburg and the Town of Altavista. It is a freight alternative to the heavy freight corridor of I-81 to the west, and is one of two major corridors serving the Lynchburg area.
The Heartland Corridor
US Route 460 runs east to west from Norfolk, Virginia, to Frankfort, Kentucky passing through the northern part of Campbell County near Lynchburg. An important freight corridor, Rt 460 also connects to I-81, I-85, I-95 and US 29. Freight rail lines run along most of the Rt460 corridor as part of the Norfolk Southern’s Heartland Corridor, one of the important freight corridors in the eastern United States, providing access between the Port of Virginia and the Midwest.
