Residents on Peel Chestnut Mountain say a narrow, partially caved road between Mercer County Virginia and West Virginia’s Mercer County is dangerous for all traffic including a Tazewell County school bus. No guard rails, no room to pass, and confusion over jurisdiction prompt calls for widening and repaving. Local highway officials acknowledge mixed county boundaries but unclear which section is affected.
