A concrete median is scheduled to be installed today as part of the project to widen Garrisonville Road (Va. 610) to four lanes at Joshua Road. The median will be in place between Joshua and Furnace roads and will limit driver’s ability to make turns in oncoming traffic.
A new left turn lane will be will be installed on the westbound portion of Va. 610 for drivers that want to turn onto Christopher Drive, entering St. George’s subdivision. The new median will bar drivers from making left turns from westbound Va. 610 onto Woodleigh Lane, said Virginia Department of Transportation spokeswoman Kelly Hannon.
Also, left turns from St. Christopher’s Drive and Woodleigh Lane onto westbound Va. 610 will be prevented due to the new median. All of those drivers must turn right onto eastbound Va. 610, said Hannon.
If the weather cooperates, the median should be in place by Friday and new lane markings in place by June 27.
The entire project is slated to be complete in August, one month ahead of schedule, said Hannon.
