Weather permitting, beginning December 1, drivers can expect traffic pattern changes as part of the ongoing road widening project on U.S. 58 over Lovers Leap Mountain in Patrick County.
U.S. 58 traffic will be shifted onto a new section of roadway starting 1.7 miles east of Virginia 610 (Cloudbreak Road) to 1.5 miles west of Virginia 640 (Central Academy Road). Traffic will remain on this new section of road for approximately 1.5 miles before transitioning back to the existing US 58.
Drivers should also expect flaggers to control a 0.5-mile section of this new road for approximately two weeks.
Motorists should pay attention to signs and electronic message boards that will be posted to alert drivers to the changes.
Final completion of US 58 over Lovers Leap Mountain is anticipated in the summer 2026.
