LAKE RIDGE, Va. -- Drivers at Old Bridge and Minnieville roads will soon get some relief ahead of the opening of a new grocery store.
The left turn lanes at the intersection that carry drivers from Old Bridge Road to Minnieville Road will be extended 100 feet toward Clipper Drive. The improvements, to be paid for by the developer of a new Lidl grocery store to be built nearby, will allow between eight and 10 more cars to queue in the lanes. That's in addition to the queue that already exists during the peak weekday evening rush hour times.
Right now, left-turning traffic backs up and out into Old Bridge Road. The lane extension comes after county transportation crews doubled the number of left turn lanes here from one to two.
