Route 623 Ashland Road Closes Overnight March 29-30 for Storm Sewer Work

Storm sewer crews will take over Route 623 Ashland Road for two consecutive nights next week, shutting down the road overnight on Sunday, March 29, and Monday, March 30, to install new storm sewer infrastructure.

The closure is the latest in a series of construction activities along the corridor. Goochland County has been advancing significant roadway improvements to the Rockville Opportunity Corridor on Ashland Road, with projects designed to accommodate developing businesses and increased access for residents and visitors. Construction along the corridor carries anticipated phased completion dates starting in Spring 2025 and continuing through Summer 2029.

Detour signs will be posted along the affected stretch of Ashland Road, and drivers who regularly travel the route should plan alternate paths before both closure nights begin. Work of this kind is weather-dependent and may be rescheduled if conditions require.

Infrastructure improvements along the Ashland Road corridor have encompassed drainage, stormwater management, signs, signals, lighting, and pavement markings, making the storm sewer installation part of a broader push to modernize the county's underground systems alongside its surface roads.

Anyone traveling in eastern Goochland after dark on March 29 or 30 should confirm a working alternate route before heading out. Drivers who need the latest road condition updates can call 511, or report road hazards by contacting VDOT's Customer Service Center at 1-800-367-7623.
