===West Virginia=== {{Main|Interstate 70 in West Virginia}} [[File:Fort Henry Bridge looking towards Ohio, in Wheeling, West Virginia - 20040706.jpg|thumb|right|Crossing the [[Ohio River]] ([[Fort Henry Bridge]]) at Wheeling, West Virginia]] The portion of I-70 in West Virginia crosses the [[Ohio River]] at [[Wheeling, West Virginia|Wheeling]] and runs through the [[Wheeling Tunnel]]. I-70 has only one throughlane in each direction at the tunnel. A major interchange was planned but never completed on the east side of the Wheeling Tunnel. Upon merging with I-470, I-70 goes uphill toward Dallas Pike. This part of the road is called "Two Mile Hill", which is known locally for the many accidents at the bottom of the hill. I-70 has brought major development in [[Ohio County, West Virginia|Ohio County]], the only county the route passes through in West Virginia, in the past few years. On the north side of the highway, a former strip mine was developed into a retail area called [[The Highlands (Wheeling, West Virginia)|The Highlands]]. This stretch of I-70 is the shortest that I-70 is in any state, traveling only {{convert|15|mi|km}} from the Ohio River to the Pennsylvania border.
