VDOT has updated road construction and maintenance schedules for the coming week, and we’re highlighting the work that will impact travel in Augusta County, Nelson County and Rockingham County.
We’d love to also provide info for Albemarle County, but the VDOT office over there doesn’t make its schedule available in a way that we can reproduce without doing a ton of work.
Scheduled work is subject to change due to inclement weather and material supplies. When traveling through a work zone, use extreme caution and be alert for lane closures and traffic-pattern changes.
For updated traffic alerts and travel information dial 511, visit the 511 Virginia website or download the mobile app.
