ITEMS FOR INFORMATION ONLY:
1-81 Project Update:The Virginia Department of Transportation Staff updated the Committee on
the 1-81 projects within the County. First discussed was the realignment of Redbud Road: this will
realign along a portion Milburn Road and tie as Norman Drive and will tie in with Snowden Bridge
Boulevard with a cul-de-sac at the existing Redbud Road. This project will go to bid in February of
2026. Also discussed by VDOT was a bundling together of multiple projects along 1-81 into two
big projects that will potentially save millions of dollars and cut down on the completion time of
those projects. The Exit 317 ramp relocation and diverging diamond interchange for Exit 317 and
bridge replacement between Exits 317 and 319 are the projects. These projects are scheduled for
advertisement for the design-build process in October 2026, with a target of completion in 2031.
County Project Updates: Renaissance Drive:The roadway was opened to traffic on July 18. Work
will continue to finalize the closure of the Springdale Road rail crossing.
Other:The Valley Mill Road and Route 7 safety project has been completed. The next phase of
Route 7 turn lane improvements will start soon.
