VDOT Public Hearings on Spotsylvania Intersection Projects

The public is invited to review proposed designs and submit comments on two projects.

By Kelly Hannon, Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT)

The public is invited to attend public hearings on Jan. 7 and Jan. 9 for two separate intersection projects in Spotsylvania County.

VDOT is proposing to lengthen a turn lane and add an additional turn lane on Route 628 (Smith Station Road) on the northbound approach to Route 208 (Courthouse Road).

Also, a separate project is proposed to modify the traffic signal and median at the intersection of Route 639 (Leavells Road) and Route 620 (Harrison Road).

The public hearing for the Smith Station Road project will be held:
