Route 628 (Dorrell Road/Spring Cottage Road) Bridge Closure

Construction crews will mobilize onsite for a bridge superstructure replacement project in Aug. 2024.

I-95 Southbound Exit 126 Off-Ramp and Route 1 Southbound

A second right turn lane is under construction from the I-95 southbound off-ramp at exit 126 onto Route 1 southbound. Route 1 southbound is being widened from the off-ramp to Southpoint Parkway with an additional turn lane. A second right turn lane is being added from Route 1 southbound to Southpoint Parkway. Traffic islands will be installed along Southpoint Parkway as a safety improvement to allow left turns into driveways but restrict through and left-turning traffic exiting from side streets. Additional right turn lane added to Southpoint Parkway to Route 1 southbound. Project completion in Aug. 2025.

Route 3 Westbound Culvert Installation at Lick Run

The existing Route 3 westbound bridge over Lick Run is being replaced with a 36-foot-long, 12-foot-wide, and 8-foot-high concrete box culvert. The project will be built in two construction phases. The first phase is underway through early Sept. 2024, and requires temporary single lane closures and the closure of two median crossovers on Route 3 immediately east and west of Lick Run. During the project’s second phase, when the culvert will be installed in an extended weekend operation, Route 3 westbound traffic will be shifted temporarily to travel in the Route 3 eastbound lanes from 9 p.m. Friday, Sept. 13-noon Monday, Sept. 16, 2024. One lane of Route 3 will remain open in each direction during this culvert installation.

Route 17 (Mills Drive) Overpass Replacement and Widening

Construction started in Dec. 2020 to replace the existing two-lane interstate overpass on Route 17 with a four-lane bridge. Route 17 is being widened to four lanes until just east of the Hospital Boulevard/Germanna Point Drive intersection. A shared-use path, sidewalk, and pedestrian crossing equipment are being added. Project completion was scheduled for late Feb. 2024. The project is now anticipated to be complete in late Aug. 2024.

Route 208 (Courthouse Road) and Hood Drive

Hood Drive has reopened to two lane traffic between Route 1 and Route 208 (Courthouse Road). New right and left turn lanes are under construction at an entrance to a future Veterans Health Administration clinic. Additional turn lanes are being built on northbound Hood Drive approaching Courthouse Road. Additional sidewalks, crosswalks, and pedestrian crossing equipment will be installed at the intersection. Project completion expected in Aug. 2024.

Route 606 (Mudd Tavern Road) Widening

Mudd Tavern Road is being widened to four lanes between I-95 and Route 1. A new secondary access route, Route 2092, will be built parallel to Mudd Tavern Road, and will connect with South Roxbury Mill Road and Dan Bell Lane. Project completion in May 2025.

Lee Hill School Drive and Old Dominion Parkway Mini-Roundabout

Construction is underway to build a mini-roundabout at the Lee Hill School Drive and Old Dominion Parkway intersection. A roundabout traffic pattern is currently in place as construction continues to build the center island and median islands. Travelers can expect lane closures and periodic traffic control directed by a flagging crew as construction progresses. Passenger vehicles can pass through the intersection during construction. Tractor-trailers and oversized vehicles will be detoured for short durations to allow concrete to cure for islands. Mini roundabouts are circular intersections where all traffic moves in a counter-clockwise direction around a center island. Traffic entering the mini roundabout slows down and yields to traffic already inside. Mini roundabouts operate the same way as a traditional roundabout but have a smaller diameter and their paved center island can be driven over by trucks and other large vehicles when necessary. Project completion in early Nov. 2024.

Westmoreland County

Route 658 (Monroe Bay Circle)

Monroe Bay Circle is reduced to a single travel lane with a temporary bridge spanning Monroe Creek. A temporary traffic signal is directing one-way, alternating traffic. The bridge is a temporary measure to maintain traffic flow while a bridge replacement project is advanced.
