The Hillsdale Drive Extended project is administered by the city of Charlottesville and is part of the Route 29 Solutions package. The new 0.85-mile roadway will connect the existing Hillsdale Drive in Albemarle County with Hydraulic Road in the city, completing a parallel road east of Route 29. Learn more at HillsdaleDrive.org.
