Upcoming VDOT Roadworks in Lynchburg District: Key Closures and Traffic Alerts for May 6-12

The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) has announced traffic alerts for the Lynchburg District effective from May 6th to May 12th, 2024. During this time, road, lane, and structure closures are planned due to highway works. These plans may change depending on weather conditions or unforeseen events.

VDOT crews in the district will perform maintenance including bridge and guardrail repairs, vegetation management, and pothole and drainage fixes. They will also conduct surface treatments, paving, mowing, boom axing, and general roadside cleaning.

In Nelson County, work on Route 29 from Route 6 (River Rd.) to Route 718 (Mountain Cove Rd.) includes shoulder widening, rumble strip installation, and guardrail improvements. This project started on March 18, 2024, involves alternating lane closures, and is expected to finish by January 2025.

Another significant project in Nelson County is the replacement of the bridge deck on Route 60 (Richmond Highway) over the James River. This project, causing lane closures and traffic pattern changes, is projected to be completed by July 2024.
