Route realignment plans shape new US 29 and 28 endpoints
Welch said Rockingham County highways fail to meet current federal standards. The proposed US 29 would run from Route 158 to Caswell County, cross under the Southern Railway, and reroute near Ruffin along a new segment to rejoin the existing highway north of Ruffin. The Virginia line to Ruffin stretch was built 1950-51 with right-of-way for a future four-lane road to Caswell County, while Caswell officials favor tying the new US 28 into US 23 near Boyd's Store for the Caswell end.
