The  Cutout Page
At a length of about one mile, Virginia Route 188 has an amazing wealth of cutouts.  Among the numerous turns on city streets, there are at least 14 cutouts along VA 188 and this page documents 11 of them.  As a whole, the town Clifton Forge, is full of cutouts including many on US 60 and 220.
