As of Sept. 30, the entrance from Longhill Road to the 7-Eleven gas station near the Olde Towne Road/Devon Road intersection has been temporarily closed to traffic in both directions as contractor crews begin the installation and placement of curb and asphalt for the new median on Longhill Road. Over the next several weeks as this work takes place, motorists will be able to access 7-Eleven using the entrance from Olde Towne Road.
Once the median is complete and the traffic on Longhill Road is shifted to its final road configuration, westbound traffic on Longhill Road (traveling towards Centerville Road) will be able to make right turns from Longhill Road to the gas station entrance. Eastbound traffic will continue to use the Olde Towne Road entrance to access the gas station.
In addition to this median installation work, the contractor is continuing the placement of underground pipes across the roadway in multiple locations along the project corridor. During this work, lane closures under flagger control will be in place alternating each direction of traffic. One of these upcoming flagging operations is currently scheduled for Monday, Oct. 4, from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. between the Olde Towne Square shopping center and the Wellspring United Methodist Church.
Due to the increase in construction activity and current traffic configuration along Longhill Road and the Olde Towne Road/Devon Road intersection, motorists should anticipate potential delays, utilize alternate routes, and plan their commutes by using VDOT’s free traffic information tools:
