As I believe I previously mentioned, in addition to the ramps to 64 and it touching down at King St., there would also be ramps serving Coliseum Dr., Armistead Ave., and LaSalle Ave.

So US 258 traffic not coming to/from I-64 is supposed to follow a frontage road with ramps at Lasalle Ave and signals at VA 134/Armistead Ave and Coliseum Dr???

Looks to be that way :-(

Not exactly. The frontage roads would just serve local businesses and US-258 would follow the elevated freeway between King St. and Coliseum Dr., with ramps between the frontage roads/freeway at Armistead and LaSalle. At Coliseum, the elevated freeway would merge back into a surface road, but ramps would continue to connect with I-64 WB. Let me draw a diagram in Google Earth:
That's the western end. Understand now?

Yep I just needed clarification on traffic that wanted to stay on US 258. :clap:
