We can list the ongoing local road construction and maintenance scheduled for the coming week thanks to some of the folks at VDOT.
The Staunton District and Lynchburg District PR folks make it easy.
The Culpeper District folks, whose area includes Albemarle County, not so much.
Get a look at scheduled road work in the Charlottesville/Albemarle area here.
