Big Stone Gap/Appalachia/Norton
|
|
At the north end of the long Big Stone Gap/Norton BUS US 23. Instead of a gap, there theoretically could have been a continuous BUS US 23 extending through Wise as well, but for some reason old US 23 between here and Wise became SR 657 instead. Photo by Adam Froehlig, taken May 6, 2003. |

Heading down US 23 Bus south towards Norton. 23 Business has ended here since about 1996. Photo by Mapmikey, taken May 24, 2008. |

From about 1990-96, US 23 Business ended in Downtown Norton at the intersection of Park and 12th, pending the completion of the US 23 freeway further around the east side of Norton. This transitory endpoint is still posted as if 23 Business still ends here. This is the view from US 23 Bus SB Park approaching 12th. Photo by Mapmikey, taken May 24, 2008. |
