Question: U.S. Route 58 ran only inside the commonwealth of Virginia, until the creation of the tunnel that carries U.S. Route 25E under Cumberland Gap National Historical Park near the intersection of Kentucky, Tennessee, and Virginia, in what year?
Context: Established on June 11, 1940, Cumberland Gap National Historical Park is a United States National Historical Park located at the border between Kentucky, Tennessee, and Virginia.  The Cumberland Gap is a sizable natural break in the Appalachian Mountains. 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. Cumberland Gap is a town in Claiborne County, Tennessee, United States.  Its population was 494 at the 2010 census.

Mannheim Road, also known as La Grange Road from Cermak Road to U.S. Route 30 (Lincoln Highway), is a north–south major street in the near-western suburbs of Chicago.

Mannheim Road skirts the eastern edge of O'Hare International Airport; numerous airport hotels and rental car services are located on the street near the airport.  One major landmark of Mannheim Road is the Allstate Arena at the intersection of Mannheim Road and Lunt Avenue in Rosemont.  There is also a Metra station on the Milwaukee West Line at Mannheim Road; in addition, Metra's BNSF Railway Line has a stop on La Grange Road in La Grange.  Also, there is an overpass that carries Mannheim Rd over the Union Pacific rail yard.  Also there is another overpass that carries the street over the Canadian Pacific railroad yard.  At the descent of that overpass the road goes under the Tri-State Tollway.  There's also a school district on the left side of the street named Mannheim School District 83 on the intersection of Grand Avenue and Mannheim Road itself in Franklin Park.  North Avenue also dips under Mannheim Road in Melrose Park. The Justin P.

U.S. Route 25E is the eastern branch of U.S. Route 25 from Newport, Tennessee, where US 25 splits into US 25E and US 25W, to North Corbin, Kentucky, where the two highways rejoin.

Route 58 is a former state highway in the city of Newark, New Jersey and nearby borough of Harrison, New Jersey.  The highway ran from Orange and Hecker Streets in Newark, eastbound as a four-lane freeway across the William A. Stickel Memorial Bridge (known as the Stickel Bridge) to Harrison, where it terminated at an intersection with County Route 508.  The route originates as an alignment of Route 25A, a suffixed spur designated in 1939 of State Highway Route 25.  The route was rechristened as Route 58 in the 1953 state highway renumbering.  The highway was constructed into Interstate 280 in the 1950s, and the route persisted internally until the 1990s, when it was finally removed as a designation.  A stub alignment of Route 58 remains near Hecker and Orange Streets. 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.
