The section of Virginia 640 (Central Academy Road) in Patrick County between U.S. 58 and Virginia 621 (Community Church Lane/Bouldin Church Lane) will be closed to through traffic starting September 23.
The closure is expected to remain in place for approximately three months and be removed before the end of the year. Drivers can detour around the closure using Virginia 8.
The existing road elevation along this section of Virginia 640 will be raised approximately 10 feet as part of the ongoing road construction project to widen U.S. 58 over Lovers Leap Mountain.
