Tree trimming will close one lane on Route 250 in Albemarle County next week

Next week, motorists should plan for extra travel time and expect delays on westbound Route 250 (Rockfish Gap Turnpike) in Albemarle County for tree trimming operations.

From 7:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday, westbound traffic will be reduced to a single lane between Route 151 (Critzers Shop Road) and Skyline Drive while crews prune vegetation along the roadside to improve sight distance and ensure roadside signs are visible.

Updates and other real-time travel information can be found on the 511 Virginia website, the free VDOT 511 mobile app or by calling 511 from any phone in Virginia. Local updates are also posted toTwitter.com/VaDOTCulp.
