Impacts

---

The exact date, time, and sequence of work are unknown. It is difficult to set an exact schedule because timing is subject to change as a result of inclement weather conditions and operational delays. Cones will be placed along the streets before roadwork begins letting community members know a start date for that specific section of roadwork.

Drivers should use alternate routes and expect delays, detours and minor interruptions. Motorists are also encouraged to allow extra travel time in these areas and to be mindful of city workers and crews.

Streets are chosen for repaving based on a variety of factors, including their condition and how recently they have been paved. VDOT also rides with city employees along primary roads to further determine priority.

The city also coordinates closely with private utilities to prevent the paving of roads that are likely to be disturbed for utility work in the near future.

“Streets recently disturbed by Columbia Gas utility work will be given special consideration for the spring 2025 annual paving list. While all of these streets can’t be repaved by the city in one year, we are aware that some of these streets urgently require further attention,” said Director of Public Works Dave Irvin.
