What's Being Done
VDOT has identified several sight distance problems along a one mile section of Nash Road (Rt. 636) between Eastfair Drive and Applewhite Lane near Woodland Pond in Chesterfield County. The project will improve safety conditions for motorists, bicyclists and pedestrians by adjusting the grade and alignment. In addition, the road will be widened to 12 feet in each direction, have eight foot safety shoulders and a six foot ditch for drainage where required. Currently, Nash Road has two 9-foot lanes, one foot shoulders and two foot drainage ditches.
Traffic Impacts
Drivers can expect traffic flagging and alternating lane closures during construction. To reduce delays, the contractor is restricted from closing lanes from 6-9 a.m. and 3-6 p.m. weekdays.
