10-1925-02 page 5 includes a paragraph about adding NC-Burkeville and NC-South Hill to the U.S. Highways (these were US 501 and US 401 in the 1925 plan). --NE2 00:37, 21 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

History between Abingdon and Independence

A 1939 topo map shows US 58 using Loves Mill Road (762), Riverside Road (660), Red Stone Road (650) [it used Red Stone Road because it passed through Holston Mill], and South Fork Road (650) from 91 at Lodi east. Given 8 miles to Troutdale from the edge of the map, it used Comers Creek Road (650) and 16. This is shown as the Jeb Stuart Highway on a 1940 topo map. This auto trail then went south on 16 to rejoin US 58 at Volney. --NE2 02:43, 21 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Wilderness Road

Doesn't US 58 generally follow the old Wilderness Road route to the Cumberland Gap? Is this part of the road's history? Pfly 22:10, 4 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"Second roadway"

I understand that "carriageway" is not normal in US English; however, "a second roadway was added" is an awkward wording. It can give the impression that there are two Route 58s, and considering there are some highways with a XX-1 or XX-E/XX-W designation in the U.S., it's a solid assumption to make, especially to non-Virginians. So, I still propose editing the sentence, perhaps this time to say "the road was upgraded to a divided highway" or something similar. —Onore Baka Sama^{(speak | stalk)} 00:50, 20 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

That sounds fine. Brian Powell (talk) 17:43, 22 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

More bannered routes

The sub-section on the U.S. Route 58 Alternate (Virginia) should be part of a whole section on Bannered Routes of US 58, if not an entire list. ----DanTD (talk) 15:08, 9 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
