The Staunton District consists of 11 counties from the Alleghany Highlands to the Shenandoah Valley: Alleghany, Bath, Rockbridge, Highland, Augusta, Rockingham, Page, Shenandoah, Frederick, Clarke and Warren.
Scheduled work is subject to change due to inclement weather and material supplies. Motorists are advised to watch for slow-moving tractors during mowing operations. When traveling through a work zone, be alert to periodic changes in traffic patterns and lane closures.
Vegetation management may take place district wide on various routes. VDOT reminds motorists to use extreme caution when traveling through work zones.
