Greene County Group Aims to Divert Tractor Trailer Traffic from Stanardsville

Green County

“A group in Greene County is hoping a bridge construction project will help solve the problem of tractor trailers taking short cuts through downtown Stanardsville. Once the aging bridge that runs over the Conway River is under construction in Spring of 2016, trucks will be redirected to use other routes. Members from Stanardsville Area Revitalization (STAR) plan to ask the Virginia Department of Transportation to keep the trucks detoured off Route 230 after the project is complete.”

“Construction crews are in the final weeks of transforming the streets of downtown Stanardsville. The town's streetscape project is more than half way done and work is set to wrap up by the end of the month… Workers are installing new street lighting, benches and crosswalks, and trees and landscaping. The project cost about $800,000. A VDOT grant funded 80 percent of the cost. The other 20 percent came from community contributions. Mayor Gary Lowe says property owners have been supportive through the construction process.”
