Emmet Street sign removal postponed due to storms

Chris Graham

road-work-headerThe thunderstorms that swept through Charlottesville last night forced cancellation of the planned removal of the overhead sign structure from Route 29 (Emmet Street) between Hydraulic Road and the Route 29/250 interchange. The operation will be rescheduled after the Independence Day holiday weekend.

As a reminder, the Virginia Department of Transportation will suspend most highway work zones for several days over the Fourth of July holiday travel period to provide as many travel lanes as possible. Lane closures will be lifted on interstates and other major roads from noon Thursday, July 2, to noon Monday, July 6.

Information about Culpeper District activities that will affect traffic is available on Twitter at @VaDOTCULP and on VDOT’s website at: www.virginiadot.org/travel/travel_alerts/culpeper/default.asp.
