Augusta BOS Votes to Widen Route 608 in Fishersville

Augusta County

“Crews are already widening the bottleneck at Exit 91 off Interstate 64, but that project doesn't cover a chunk of Route 608 waiting to be developed. Eight properties that have been purchased along 608 in Fishersville can't break ground on new development until the road is widened, so Augusta County supervisors voted Wednesday night to solicit for bids to fix that problem…

The project is expected to cost a few million dollars, but leftover Virginia Department of Transportation secondary road funds and revenue sharing could leave the county with less than half the cost.”

VDOT Plans to Reconstruct High-Traffic Road in Stuarts Draft

Augusta County

“The Virginia Department of Transportation is sharing its plan to make a high-traffic road in Stuarts Draft safer. The plan is to reconstruct a part of Route 610, or Howardsville Turnpike. A VDOT rep says they'll level and widen the half-mile section near Hodge and Lake roads. He says this will help the sight distance and drainage issues…

VDOT says public input, especially from property owners off of 610, helps them tweak the plans if needed. The $4.4 million project is still roughly three years out.”
