Traffic Changes at Route 1 & Route 234 – Effective May 5

Dear Residents,

We wanted to inform you regarding upcoming traffic pattern changes at the intersection of Route 1 and Route 234. We want to ensure our community is aware of these changes and prepared for the adjustments that will soon take effect.
 
VDOT has completed the first phase of intersection improvements, and the new traffic flow pattern is scheduled to begin the morning of Tuesday, May 5th. Night work will occur from May 3rd through May 5th to support this transition.
 
A loop road has been constructed to eliminate all left turns at the intersection. This change is intended to improve traffic flow by allowing more vehicles to move through the intersection efficiently. Drivers traveling straight or making right turns will not experience any changes.
 
The next phase of the project will involve widening Route 234 to add additional lanes. This work is expected to begin in the coming months and will take approximately nine months to complete.
 
VDOT has provided a flyer illustrating how drivers will navigate the intersection once the new pattern is in place. Electronic message boards will also be posted near the intersection to alert drivers.

If you would like to review the flyer or learn more about the project, you may visit the following link:
