The Virginia Department of Transportation will close a section of U.S. Route 23 in Wise County starting today. VDOT will be closing a two-lane section of U.S. 23 South between Wise and Pound. Southbound traffic will be detoured onto State Route 823-Old Indian Creek Road- at mile marker 51.2 and returned onto U.S. 23 at the Indian Creek Road-U.S. 23 intersection. The detour will allow crews to repair a slide area below the highway, and work will take at least a month.
