Contractors for the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) will start slope stabilization work on U.S. 250, also known as Rockfish Gap Turnpike, in Albemarle County beginning Monday, June 23. The work zone is situated on the eastbound side of Route 250 between Route 752 (Mechums Depot Road) and Fair Hill Lane.
The project will occur from Monday to Friday, between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m., with minimal expected impact on traffic. Crews will place stone material around the guardrail along the shoulder to stabilize the slope and reinforce the roadside.
Motorists are advised to reduce speed and remain alert for workers and equipment near travel lanes when passing through the work zone.
