Stafford and the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) will be paying $11.2 million to widen Route 1, and add turn lanes to Courthouse and Bells Hill roads.
Stafford will be hosting a citizenâs information meeting on the project on August 6 at 7 p.m. at the Stafford County Government Center, according to a county release.
According to county documents, Stafford will be leading the project, but VDOT will be providing oversight, and 50% of the projectâs funding.
The project on the 0.65 mile stretch of road will include adding lanes to Route 1, and adding left turn lanes to Courthouse Road and Bells Hill/Hope Road, according to county documents. The project will be completed in two phases.
âPhase 1 will improve the Route 1 and Courthouse Road intersection. Phase 2 will improve the Route 1 and Bells Hill/Hope Road intersection,â stated a county presentation.
A county presentation on the project stated that the reason for the project is the frequent backup and delay, as well as a projection that traffic will increase at the Route 1 and Courthouse Road intersection by 500% by 2035.
Before construction can begin, Stafford will need to submit plans to VDOT, and host public hearings for residents to speak about the project.
According to a county presentation, construction on the project is set to begin in 2018, and be completed in 2019.
