340 from Harpers Ferry to Frederick is hell. I used to go that way a lot when going hiking in VA and WV. Friday afternoons it would take an hour just to get from Frederick to where it opens up to 2 lanes at the HF battlefield. That was 4 years ago, maybe they widened the bridge over the Potomac to 2 lanes by now?
My wife's cousin lives in CHarles Town and teaches elementary school in Frederick and she always complains about the traffic.
During the spring and summer months in the afternoon from MD to WV there are people who have campers checking into the HF KOA. This is only when school is out. I drive this everyday, on those summer fridays home I take the back way. Today 2/14, this was a clear shot at 85mph to Frederick on 340 to 270 in the morning. Afternoon it the same 85 mph back to the bridge, with that traffic light in VA stopping traffic. Its not a long wait at all coming back to WV. It moves along. Far less traffic here in WV then on 270 to the beltway.
