[PAR] [TLE] Cumberland Gap Tunnel [SEP] The Cumberland Gap Tunnel is a tunnel that carries U.S. Route 25E under Cumberland Gap National Historical Park near the intersection of Kentucky, Tennessee, and Virginia.  According to United States Geological Survey maps of the area, the tunnel does not enter Virginia.  It is one of only two mountain vehicular tunnels in the United States that cross a state line, the other being the East River Mountain Tunnel on Interstate 77 between Virginia and West Virginia. [PAR] [TLE] U.S. Route 58 [SEP] U.S. Route 58 is an east–west U.S. Highway that runs for 508 mi from U.S. Route 25E just northwest of Harrogate, Tennessee, to U.S. Route 60 in Virginia Beach, Virginia.  Until 1996, when the Cumberland Gap Tunnel opened, US 58 ran only inside the commonwealth of Virginia.  It was then extended southwest along a short piece of former US 25E, which no longer enters Virginia, to end at the new alignment in Tennessee.
