how is hwy 58 Martinsville, VA to I77
I am traveling to Martinsville, VA to a NASCAR race. I will be approaching from the south. That shouldn't be a problem. My concern is continuing on north. How is Hwy 58 from Martinsville to I-77?

Rt 58 is just Ok...... going over Lovers Leap is steep. Just OK if you have plenty of tow vehicle, ok after Lovers Leap 58 is getting better they are trying to 4 lane the whole thing but, not all yet just a couple sections (Meadows of Dan & Hillsville). Only steep switchbacks are for about 5 miles. I live near there so pull trailers over it all the time but keep in mind it is a 2 lane road & easy to get behind a slow log truck or a local that is in no hurry.......... Personally 220 north is a much better road (but not great).
Currently Martinsville through Stuart is nice flat 4 lane (Patrick Springs can be a speed trap)....Stuart to Vesta (Lovers Leap area very steep & curvy) Vesta to meadows of Dan ok .....Meadows of Dan by pass 4 lane nice, Meadows of Dan through Laurel Fork working on 4 lane (currently 2 lane), Laurel Fork to east of Hillsville still 2 lane East of Hillsville to I77 nice 4 lane..........
I81 north is heavy truck traffic & many accidents getting worse all the time....
