A section of eastbound U.S. 58 Business (A. L. Philpott Highway) in Henry County was closed on Monday, Aug. 31 for continued work on an emergency pipe replacement.
All traffic will now be shifted onto the westbound lanes, with one lane for each direction, as crews complete the pipe replacement. Barrels will separate opposing traffic, and the speed limit will continue to be reduced to 35 mph within the traffic shift.
The new traffic shift will begin at Virginia 1747 (Summit Road) and Virginia 1746 (Machinery Drive), and end at Club House Road. Motorists entering U.S. 58 Business from Summit Road, Machinery Drive, Dug Mountain Road, Club House Road or any homes or businesses within the traffic shift will be limited to right turns for the duration of the closure.
Drivers should pay attention to message boards and signs in the area. Work is expected to be completed by 5 p.m. Friday, Sept. 11, weather permitting.
