Upcoming Road Work in Lynchburg District: Key Closures and Traffic Changes from May 13th to 19th

The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) has issued a traffic alert for the Lynchburg District from May 13th to 19th, 2024. Road, lane, or structure closures may occur due to highway maintenance, depending on the weather and other factors.

VDOT crews in the district will perform maintenance on bridges, guardrails, and road surfaces. They will also cut brush, trees, and limbs, and repair potholes and road shoulders. Surface treatments, paving, and drainage repairs are planned as well.

In Nelson County, work on Route 29 between Route 6 (River Rd.) and Route 718 (Mountain Cove Rd.) includes shoulder widening and the installation of rumble strips and guardrails. This project started on March 18 and involves alternating lane closures, with completion expected 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 causes lane closures and traffic pattern changes, directing traffic to the opposite side of the bridge. It should be completed by July 2024.
