VDOT News - Fredericksburg

FREDERICKSBURG, Va. – The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) invites the public to participate in an online survey to share their feedback on proposed concepts to promote safety and improve traffic flow on Route 33 (Lewis B. Puller Memorial Highway) in King and Queen County.

In partnership with King and Queen County, the Middle Peninsula Planning District Commission, and other local stakeholders, VDOT is conducting a planning study of the Route 33 corridor between the Lord Delaware Bridge over the Mattaponi River at the Town of West Point and Route 14 (Buena Vista Road).

The study team is seeking comment on draft recommendations for transportation improvements. There are no construction dates scheduled for the suggested improvements. Instead, the study is intended to result in project ideas that localities and regional planning organizations can choose to pursue for funding in the future.

Take the online survey through Friday, March 25.
