Oak Lane in the city of Waynesboro will be closed to through traffic for several months starting Monday, January 6, 2025.

The closure will allow contractors to widen a portion of the roadway as part of the Waynesboro Southern Corridor project. Oak Lane will be open to local traffic only between Lyndhurst Road and Delphine Avenue.

Local traffic will have access to homes, businesses and other properties within the closure area. Motorists are advised to remain alert for daytime flagging operations.

Through traffic will follow the following detours:

Drivers approaching from the north end of Oak Lane will go west on Lyndhurst Road (Route 631) into Augusta County, then south on Route 664 (Lyndhurst Road) and east on Route 624 (Mount Torrey Road). Continue on Route 624 as it becomes Delphine Avenue in Waynesboro and leads back to Oak Lane.

Drivers approaching from the south end of Oak Lane will go south on Delphine Avenue into Augusta County, where it becomes Route 624 (Mount Torry Road). Continue on Route 624, turn north on Route 664 (Lyndhurst Road) and then east on Route 631 (Lyndhurst Road), which re-enters Waynesboro and leads back to Oak Lane.

The Virginia Department of Transportation anticipates that Oak Lane will reopen to all traffic in late spring 2025.

All work is weather permitting.

VDOT will provide updates on the Waynesboro Southern Corridor project page. The entire project is scheduled for completion in September 2025.
