We are coming from NC. Can't decide if we should take 77 to 81 to 29N or 29N the whole way. We will be pulling a pop up on Wednesday night. I'm pretty familiar with 77 and 81, but not 29N. According to google maps it is about the same travel time. What are others from NC doing? How is 29N?

29N is a good road. Main route north in that part of the state beside interstate. This is the route I am taking from NC.We are coming from NC.

29 is highway but not ll of it is limited access. just the bypasses! but it is better than the construction on 81 near crhistiansburg roanoke.
I would take 29.
The wheel is turning and you can't slow down,
You can't let go and you can't hold on,
You can't go back and you can't stand still,
If the thunder don't get you then the lightning will.

I live in the area and travel back and forth to Duke frequently, Greensoro too. Have done them all and definitely recommend 29 the whole way.

3-4 years ago they built a bypass around Lynchburg that makes 29 a lot shorter. Take 29 but don't miss the bypass (follow signs for Charlottesville. Can't miss it).

If you're coming up 77/81, I'd get off in roanoke and head to 29n via rt 460

I agree and pick up 29 in Greensboro if you are coming from that direction.
