Long-term single-lane closures are set to begin on Victory Boulevard (Route 171) in York County starting June 9. The closures will allow construction work in the median as part of the Virginia Department of Transportation’s roadway widening project.
The left westbound travel lane on Victory Boulevard between Hampton Highway and George Washington Memorial Highway will be closed. Additionally, one of the two existing westbound left-turn lanes from Victory Boulevard to George Washington Memorial Highway, specifically the inside left-turn lane, will also close temporarily. However, the outside left-turn lane will remain open.
These closures are expected to last through early July. The schedule may change due to weather or other factors.
Temporary eastbound single-lane closures will occur as needed between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m., and again from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m.
The construction is part of a $4.6 million project aimed at increasing vehicle capacity and reducing congestion through widening the road and improving turn lanes on Victory Boulevard between George Washington Memorial Highway and Hampton Highway.
