VDOT will replace the existing bridge with a four cell box culvert. The box culvert will be installed in four sections. This culvert design will allow for a much shorter construction period than replacing the bridge in kind.
Construction will be expedited by closing Route 250 at Little Ivy Creek in both directions for two weeks with a detour in place. Eastbound motorists will be directed to Interstate 64 and use exit 118 to Route 29 (Monacan Trail) north, which carries traffic back to Route 250. Westbound motorists will reverse the detour and use exit 107 to Route 250 to navigate around the closure. The detour from one end of the bridge to the other is about 24 miles. Local traffic may use alternative secondary routes to navigate around the closure.

CHANGE OF VOTING LOCATION FOR CERTAIN ALBEMARLE COUNTY VOTERS
Changes go into effect at upcoming June 12, 2018 primary election
At their March 14, 2018 meeting, the Albemarle County Board of Supervisors made polling place changes at the request of the Albemarle County Electoral Board. These changes go into effect at the upcoming June 12, 2018 primary election and are intended to ease congestion at Cale, Free Bridge, Brownsville and Crozet — four of the County’s most populous voting precincts. The combination of the Jack Jouett and Belfield precincts addresses the unavailability of the former Belfield voting location (St. Anne’s-Belfield School).
All affected voters have been mailed new voter cards showing their new voting location. Voters are urged to pay particular attention to the information contained on the new voter cards to ensure they are voting in their appropriate precinct. Specific changes are as follows:
Update 4 June via Albemarle’s A-Mail email.
On Sunday, June 3, 2018, a sink hole appeared in Crozet, in the parking area at The Square. In response to this dangerous situation, Albemarle County has hired a contractor to permanently fill the cavity. Work to fill the hole will begin tomorrow, Tuesday, June 5, at 7:00 a.m.
While this work is underway, there many be some minor disruption to traffic in and out of The Square. The contractor will have traffic flaggers on site to assist with the direction of traffic.
The cause of the sinkhole is unknown. The County is not aware of any sizable utilities (water, sanitary, storm) in the vicinity of the hole. It is possible that there might be some old structures associated with the railroad in the vicinity, but that is speculation at this time.
If you have any questions about this work, please contact the Public Works Division at 434-296-5816.
We’ve had a lot of rain.
There’s a sinkhole in the Square, near the pine tree.
Trevor Henry with County of Albemarle emails, “The area is currently taped off and the county will be evaluating further for a repair plan. I expect the parking in the adjacent area to be impacted until a full repair can be made. ”
The long wait is over; the result is outstanding.
I categorized this post as “Crozet” and “Community,” as I’ve seen a lot more of the Crozet community at Great Valu in the past few weeks and months.
I saw the sign on 2 May when coming back from a bike ride.
I don’t know the story, only that they’re closed, and I wonder what’s to come on that site.
*I’m writing this story because I’ve gotten quite a few emails and texts asking what happened to the Crozet Community Garage.
Two big things were discussed in last night’s CCAC meeting – the Western Park, and the Crozet Master Plan update resolution. I’ll leave the story telling to others, but will share highlights, many of which can be found in the tweets, if you’re so inclined. (also, below, after the jump)
