VDOT News - Culpeper

CULPEPER — Beginning April 16 traffic on U.S. 29 south in New Baltimore will no longer be able to turn left onto Route 215 (Vint Hill Road). The crossover will be closed while construction is under way to build a second left-turn lane and widen the receiving lanes on Route 215. Message boards advising of the upcoming closure will be installed on Friday, April 7.

During the closure that left-turn traffic will be detoured south to Route 600 (Broad Run Church Road) where they may continue east on Route 600 to their destination. That traffic may also make a left turn at the unsignalized intersection of Route 676 (Riley Road).

Left turns from Route 215 onto U.S. 29 south will also be prohibited during construction. Those vehicles should turn right onto U.S. 29 north and make a U-turn at the Buckland Mills Road crossover.

Northbound traffic on U.S. 29 will not be able to turn right onto Vint Hill Road. Those vehicles should turn right on Route 600 or Route 676 and follow detour signs to reach destinations east of U.S. 29.

Truck traffic on Vint Hill Road with destinations on U.S. 29 south should follow truck detour signs on Route 600 (Broad Run Church Road) to U.S. 29.

Traffic will be detoured through most of the construction, until new traffic signals are installed in late September. The intersection improvements are being constructed by Chemung Contracting Corp., of Mitchells, Va., under a $1,541,659.55 contract. The project’s fixed completion date is Oct. 10, 2023. More information is on the project web page.
