Please see updates on the VDOT Paving Project Below:

VDOT's planned repaving operations for the Town have now started.  The contractor will be posting NO PARKING signs in advance of work in certain areas.  Please be sure to observe any such signs.  The contractor will work with residents and businesses to maintain access to your properties during the project; however, there may be brief periods while work is being performed directly in front of your property during which access may be limited.  Please use extreme caution when driving through work zones and obey any directions provided by the traffic control personnel.   
 
The contractor will be providing to the Town a two-week schedule listing streets that are anticipated to be affected by the operations.  This schedule is subject to change due to weather and other factors.  Please understand that the Town does not control the schedule or the methods of operation used for this project; the Town will, however, do our best to keep you informed and will pass on information as it is provided to us.   
 
We should receive an updated schedule for the next two week period shortly.  Please watch your emails for an update or check our website at:  middeburgva.gov/VDOT-paving-project
