Corridor Q Route 460/121 (Coalfields Expressway) between Southern Gap Road and Poplar Creek Road is officially open. On October 10, a ribbon cutting ceremony was held in Buchanan County to celebrate the opening of Poplar Creek Phase A, which comprises nearly three miles of Corridor Q (known as Route 460/121, or Coalfields Expressway) located between the Southern Gap redevelopment site and Route 604 (Poplar Creek Road).
