In the U.S. state of West Virginia, U.S. Route 340 (US 340) runs north–south in Jefferson County, between Clarke County, Virginia and Loudoun County, Virginia. It is a main route between Charles Town and Harpers Ferry, and it is known as the William L. Wilson Freeway through that stretch. The southern portion of the highway, between the Virginia state line and Charles Town, is known as Berryville Pike.
The West Virginia portion of US 340 begins as a two-lane road at the state line near Gaylord, Virginia. It passes through Rippon and Wheatland before becoming a four-lane, limited-access highway just before Washington High School. After an interchange with West Virginia Route 9 in Charles Town, the highway moves in an easterly direction toward Harpers Ferry, past the main entrance to Harpers Ferry National Historical Park. It becomes a two-lane road again before carrying the Appalachian Trail over the Shenandoah River and entering Loudoun County, Virginia near Loudoun Heights, Virginia.
