Weather permitting, the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) plans to close a section of Route 651, known as Georgetown Road, for a pipe replacement project in Hanover County. The closure will occur between Route 1701 (Ivanhoe Drive) and Route 1706 (Windermere Drive). The work is scheduled from 7 a.m. on Monday, June 9, through 5 p.m. on Wednesday, June 11.
