North Stafford, Va. –– Good news for drivers: work to widen North Stafford’s main thoroughfare is nearing completion.

Crews on Monday will begin work one of the final stages of widening Garrisonville Road (Va. 610) at Joshua Road.

Drivers will notice brief delays and period lane shifts the construction area, said Virginia Department of Transportation spokeswoman Tina Bundy.

The delays will come as crews lay new pavement in the intersection of the two roads over the next 30 days.

The overall $8.3 million project will widen Va. 610 from two to four lanes near Joshua Road, and should be complete by August, said Bundy.

A larger project to widen Va. 610 from four to six lanes near Interstate 95 was completed in 2008.
