From Central Virginia to Northwestern Indiana
In about a week we will be traveling from central Virginia to Purdue in West Lafayette, IN. We’ve done the trip many times so know our regular route. It’s almost 700 miles so I refuse to do it in a day so you don’t have to give me that warning! What I’m after is any knowledge of the alternate routes just for variety.
We usually take I-64 through West Virginia to US 35 west in Ohio to I-75 north and I-70 west to Indy then I-65 north.
I’m looking at either Ky AA Rt 9 West across Kentucky to Cincinnati then go up from there but I also notice US 52 runs right along the Ohio River in Ohio from the Huntington WV area to Cincinnati. Does any one know how these two roads, KY 9 and US 52 compare through this area? We once took KY 9 back to VA and I remember it as a two lane road. What about US 52?
I know there are connections, etc in there that I haven’t detailed. I’m just now looking to see if there’s another road that could be interesting since the trip will be over night. I’m not looking at going further north and taking I-70 across Ohio. Been there, done that. Thanks.
