City of Waynesboro - Broad Street (Route 250) Corridor Improvements
City of Waynesboro - Broad Street (Route 250) Corridor Improvements
The purpose of this project is to improve the operational safety of the Broad Street corridor by replacing center two-way left-turn lanes with designated turn bays and raised medians. This will serve to restrict the number of full access points onto Broad Street and reduce accidents.
Streetscape improvements such as trees and other landscaping elements will also be incorporated into the project. Other multimodal improvements include installing missing sections of sidewalk and ADA-compliant facilities such as curb ramps, pedestrian crosswalks, mid-block crossings and minor traffic signal adjustments as needed.
The project is about 1.3 miles long, between the West Main Street/Rosser Avenue intersection and the East Main Street intersection within the City of Waynesboro.
In 2023 Broad Street had an average traffic count of 11,600 vehicles per day. By the design year of 2048 the estimated daily traffic volume is 14,800 vehicles per day.
The total estimated cost of this project is $8,281,094 which includes $843,000 for preliminary engineering, $880,000 for right of way acquisition and utility relocation, and $6,558,093.34 for construction.
This project was selected for funding under the SMART SCALE process for prioritizing transportation projects. Click here for more information on the prioritization process as outlined by the Virginia General Assembly.
