HUGUENOT TRAIL (ROUTE 711) TO CLOSE IN POWHATAN FOR INTERSECTION IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT
Drivers should follow posted detour routes

SOUTH CHESTERFIELD, Va. — Beginning Thursday, April 28, the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) will close Huguenot Trail (Route 711) between Huguenot Springs Road (Route 607) and Woolridge Road (Route 721) in Powhatan County for an intersection improvements project.

The road will remain closed through July 2022. During the project, drivers should utilize the following detour:

Westbound Huguenot Trl. (Rt. 711) – Take Woolridge Rd. (Rt. 721) west to Huguenot Springs Rd. (Rt. 607) north back to Huguenot Trl.

Eastbound Huguenot Trl. (Rt. 711) – Take Huguenot Springs Rd. (Rt. 607) south to Woolridge Rd. (Rt. 721) east back to Huguenot Trl.

The project will reconstruct Huguenot Trail (Route 711) west of Route 288 and realign and combine Huguenot Springs Road (Route 607) and Woolridge Road (Route 721) to form a new intersection with Huguenot Trail. The project also will add a westbound turn lane on Huguenot Trail to the newly aligned Huguenot Springs Road.

The primary purpose of the project is to improve safety and traffic operations at the intersection. Weather permitting, the project should be completed by fall 2022.
