Construction of the U.S. 58 Lover’s Leap project is underway and may impact traffic traveling, according to the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT).
The estimated completion date is May 2026.
Additionally, travel may be impacted on Virginia 57, with intermittent work performed for Comcast from Virginia 8 to Virginia 701. This is expected to be a 90-day installation project. Motorists may experience periodic lane and/or shoulder closures.
Road maintenance projects also are underway in various locations, including paving operations, paving markings, ditching/grading and slope repairs, pipe replacements, drainage maintenance, mowing/tree trimming and removal, unpaved road maintenance, guardrail repairs and others.
VDOT now offers coverage of tracking paving progress statewide, which allows community members and stakeholders to view specific locations slated for paving and individual details of each project. Paving season typically extends from April to November and the map is updated weekly to detail exactly where paving projects are planned, ongoing and show how they’re to give residents and travelers a tool to use to best plan for travel and stay safe near these work zones. Drivers can get specific information about the status of paving projects at the Virginia Roads Paving Map or www.virginiaroads.org.
