What's Being Done

The widening of Route 58 between Abingdon and Damascus is divided into three projects:

- West Corporate Limits of Damascus to near Route 708–Rhea Valley:   Right of way and construction are contingent on future funding. Construction estimate: $24.8 million.

- Route 708–Rhea Valley to just east of Route 638 - Lacy Drive:  Right of way acquisition and construction are contingent on future funding.  Construction estimate: $15.6 million.

- Just east of Route 638 - Lacy Drive to near Watauga Road in Abingdon: Construction is contingent on future funding.  This project will include the replacement of the bridge over Middle Fork Holston River. Construction estimate: $24.9 million.

Benefits

Completion of the widening will provide a modern and safe four-lane facility between Abingdon and Damascus, a highly traveled route for commuter and recreational traffic.

The project is part of the Route 58 Corridor Development Program to enhance the transportation network and foster economic development in southwestern Virginia.
