The following road projects may affect traffic in Patrick County this week.
• Work is currently underway to improve Route 58 between Laurel Fork and Meadows of Dan. This project starts in Carroll County and runs through Floyd County and ends/connects to Meadows of Dan bypass in Patrick County. The eight miles of construction for 58 on this project is located where all three of these counties come together.
Drivers traveling west on Route 58 on the Meadows of Dan bypass in Patrick County where the four lane transitions into the two lane roadway will be directed onto the two lane roadway 500 feet east of the existing connection while the westbound lanes can be constructed. Eastbound traffic will not be impacted with the traffic pattern change.
Signs, markings and barricades will direct and assist traffic and drivers should use caution in the work zone.
