State Route 758 is a secondary state highway in Lee County, Virginia, running south from U.S. Route 58 west of Jonesville to the Tennessee state line. Its continuation in Tennessee, Mulberry Gap Road towards State Route 63 at Mulberry Gap, has never been numbered.[2]
The northern 6.2 miles (9.9 km) of SR 758, north of near present SR 613, were added to the state highway system in 1928 as State Route 102;[3] the rest was added in 1930.[4] In the 1933 renumbering it was renumbered State Route 63; it became a secondary route in 1946, as it was "a purely local road that [had] no further possibilities for further development", with an annual average daily traffic volume of about 200 vehicles.[5] SR 758 now has a maximum AADT of 460 south of the junction with State Route 661. (SR 661 intersects SR 758 under 1000 feet (300 m) from its north end and takes about two-thirds of the traffic from US 58.)[1]
