STARS Route 639 (Salem Church Road) Corridor Study
STARS Route 639 (Salem Church Road) Corridor Study
This STARS (Strategically Targeted Affordable Roadway Solutions) study is assessing multimodal safety and operational conditions for approximately 1.5 miles of Salem Church Road (Route 639) between Plank Road (VA 3) Harrison Road (Route 620) in Spotsylvania County. Salem Church Road provides an important north-south connection between Plank Road and Harrison Road. A number of safety issues have been identified along the corridor, as well as traffic congestion issues at the Plank Road and Harrison Road intersections. The study will consider and develop potential safety and operational improvements for all users in the study area and develop cost estimates for the preferred alternatives. The study will not set construction dates for any of the alternatives. The purpose of this study is to develop proposed improvements that are SMART-SCALE ready, which localities can pursue for funding, and to consider including in their comprehensive plans.
