Attend VDOT Presentation

Albemarle County invited VDOT to present and inform the community on a proposed solution to the traffic back-up on 601 exit ramp onto Old Garth Road. This project will implement improvements in the form of a VDOT termed "Triangleabout". A group of concerned citizens oppose this "$600,000 band-aid" and call for regional, longer term strategies to address this issue, the hazards of Old Ivy Road and the exit 118B acceleration lanes from Ivy Road onto the bypass as well as the necessary improvements needed on Ivy Road west of Old Garth. Read about the VDOT plan and our opposition statement (with suggestions).
