Project Pipeline S. Crater Road Study (RI-23-06)

Project Pipeline S. Crater Road Study (RI-23-06)

 Project Pipeline is a performance-based planning program to identify cost-effective solutions to multimodal transportation needs in Virginia. Through this planning process, projects and solutions may be considered for funding through programs, including SMART SCALE, revenue sharing, interstate funding and others.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate safety and operational issues and develop solutions along Wagner Road from Normandy Drive to U.S. Route 301 (S. Crater Road), U.S. Route 301 (S. Crater Road) from Wagner Road to Route 629 (Rives Road), and Route 629 (Rives Road) from U.S. Route 301 (S. Crater Road) to Lakeshore Drive. This 3.7-mile corridor includes segments identified with VTrans Priority 1 District Needs. The majority of this corridor is considered a VTrans Priority 2 District Safety Improvement Need, with one fatal pedestrian crash and two Potential for Safety Improvement (PSI) intersections along the corridor. The study goals are to identify safety, congestion, transportation demand management, and accessibility (bicycle, pedestrian, and transit) improvements along the corridor for all transportation users.
