Visitor & Driver Tips

Drivers visiting Lot 8 during morning and late-afternoon shift turnovers should exercise extra caution due to heavy pedestrian foot traffic and industrial transport movements along Progress Drive. For GPS navigation, enter the exact street coordinates or set your route to Progress Drive in Wytheville, VA, to prevent navigation systems from routing onto unpaved service easements.
