Motorists should prepare for potential delays on U.S. 29 Business from Madison Heights to the town of Amherst during the next few months, according to the Virginia Department of Transportation. Temporary lane closures will be used during trench widening.
During the work, crews will excavate material along the road’s edges before strengthening and stabilizing the base. The paved, widened sections will be remarked when the work is completed.
The work will increase paved shoulders and install rumble strips on the outside edges of the lanes to provide for safer driving conditions, according to VDOT.
The project is targeted for completion in August 2018.
