Median project to enhance safety on Afton Mountain

A project to help increase safety by reducing median cross-over crashes has been awarded by Commissioner of Highways Gregory A. Whirley on April 3.  The $2.7 million contract is awarded to Bullington Construction Inc. of Indian Trail, NC.

The project is located on Interstate 64 on Afton Mountain near the borders of Augusta, Nelson and Albemarle counties.  The project extends from mile marker 97.1 to mile marker 106.6.  High tension cable barrier will be installed along this narrow median area.  This project is similar to the recently installed cable barrier project in the Harrisonburg area.  The barrier can help reduce cross-over crashes by stopping or deflecting vehicles and absorbing some of the crash energy.
