Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Virginia

House is landlocked

My neighbor continues to obstruct my house using gates and locks to try to keep me out of my property. We have this only road to our house for over 38 years. He says he is building us a new road but going through his property not our access that we have been using. What is the landlock law in Virginia?
