Charlotte shortcut ?

take i-81 to i-77 south unless you are worried about scales (around mm 106 in nc). the route you quoted has too many small towns, traffic (school busses), lower speed limits. from roanoke to zmax should be less than 3 hours doing the posted speed limit. only short cut would be to take exit 18 off i-77 and go east (harris blvd) - you would save a few miles going into charlotte and then back north on i-85 (depending upon the time of day you could save 15 to 30 minutes. andy b.
