The Virginia Department of Transportation will break ground on a new street in Spotsylvania County near the site of a soon-to-be-built regional indoor water park.
A groundbreaking ceremony for the new Route 2092 will run parallel to Mudd Tavern Road — the street that crosses Interstate 95 near the Old Dominion Raceway.
Also coming to the area are Kalahari Water Park and hotel, a 12-story, 900-room hotel on the site, awakening the Thornburg area, referred to by county planners approved to be built in an area county planners describe as a “sleeping giant” ripe for tourism.
