 SR 130 exits Glasgow by crossing the Maury River then meets US 501 (Glasgow Highway) at an intersection east of the river.SR 130 and US 501 follow the Maury River south to its mouth at the James River, then parallel the James River and the James River Subdivision rail line east through the river's gorge through the Blue Ridge Mountains.Shortly before crossing the Rockbridge–Amherst line, the two highways leave the level of the river and have a curvaceous crossing of the mountain.
