I live in Richmond so I frequent Tates Creek Road from Lexington often.
Everything on that road is the same as it's always been until you get to the Ferry. Once you cross the Ferry, headed back towards Richmond you will run into 4 patches of pure uneven gravel. These patches span both lanes and are about 2 to 3 feet long. They have started to pave some of these. The 5th one that I got to had been black topped. However, they black topped it to a ramp like structure. I wasn't even going fast when I approached it and the front wheel came off the ground.
Once you get past number 5, you can get back to spirited riding. I'll report any changes I find on that road as I ride it a few times per month.
