North Hollymead Drive closed at Route 29 two nights next week

Construction across the intersection of Route 29 and North Hollymead Drive will close the intersection to traffic overnight for two nights next week. During the closure a new water main will be installed across the intersection.

North Hollymead Drive will be closed at the Route 29 intersection overnight Monday and Tuesday. During the closures, between 9 p.m. and 6 a.m., detour signs will direct traffic to use South Hollymead Drive around the construction and back to North Hollymead Drive. The intersection will be open to traffic between 6 .m. and 9 p.m.

The water main relocation is part of the Route 29 widening project under construction by Lane-Corman Joint Venture. The work, which is being coordinated with the Rivanna Water and Sewer Authority and the Albemarle County Service Authority, will upgrade the distribution system by replacing an aging 12-inch water main with the new 24-inch main running along the east side of Route 29.
