You’ve seen the sign that 240/250 construction is coming.
It’s the roundabout.
When will the roundabout be finished?
Construction of the roundabout is anticipated to begin in late May of this year, and the construction will be substantially completed in the winter of 2025. We expect that punch list work will extend into 2026.
More than ever, grateful for infrastructure improvement.
As I sat in heaving paving-exacerbated-traffic (noting that if I’m in traffic, I am traffic) on 240 the other day, I was appreciative that we actually have some infrastructure improvements.
VDOT will reconstruct the existing intersection of Route 240 (Three Notched Road), Route 250 (Rockfish Gap Turnpike) and Route 680 (Browns Gap Turnpike) as a four-leg, single-lane roundabout. Using HSIP funds, the proposed roundabout will improve traffic safety and more efficiently move traffic through the busy Albemarle County intersection.
During construction, VDOT proposes to close Route 680 to through traffic between Route 250 and Route 802 (Old Three Notched Road) with a posted detour. Traffic would be detoured via Route 240 to Route 802 for about two months. The existing Route 680 single lane bridge over Lickinghole Creek, adjacent to this project, is being planned for replacement immediately after the roundabout is constructed.”
240/250 roundabout construction will suck. Progress does sometimes. More than ever, grateful for infrastructure improvement. #crozet vdot.virginia.gov/projects/cul…
