Virginia Commences Walkers Mountain Road Reconstruction
The Virginia State Highway Department begins a 5.3 mile project on Route 16 along Walkers Mountain north of Marion. Convict road forces widen the existing road to 26 28 feet and plan macadam surfacing linking Marion and Tazewell with improved sight distance and safety. Winter work focuses on clearing and widening edges with minimal traffic disruption.
