Goochland Drivers Face Lane Closures, Maintenance Work This Week

VDOT's Richmond District rolled out planned maintenance work and short-term lane closures across Goochland County roads beginning March 21, part of the agency's weekly traffic alert covering central Virginia corridors through March 27.

The Richmond District issued a forecast of road construction activity that could cause delays for the week. The alert covers maintenance activities and mobile operations in addition to the lane closures, meaning crews may be working at shifting locations rather than fixed, marked work zones throughout the week.

All work is scheduled weather permitting, a standard caveat that carries real weight in late March, when spring weather across central Virginia can shift quickly. Goochland drivers should expect that schedules may change if conditions deteriorate.

Closures are subject to change due to adverse weather conditions and other unforeseen problems, and other lane closures not yet scheduled may occur that do not appear on the published report. That means the list of affected corridors is a floor, not a ceiling.

For questions or to report hazardous road conditions, contact VDOT's 24-hour Customer Service Center by visiting my.vdot.virginia.gov or calling 800-FOR-ROAD (367-7623).
