STARS US 340 / US 522 Corridor Improvement Study

The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT), in collaboration with Warren County, the Town of Front Royal, and ATCS Consulting is conducting a transportation study along a segment of US 340/522, Winchester Road, identified as having safety and congestion needs within the vicinity of the I-66, Exit 6 interchange. A State Primary roadway that runs north and south between the Town of Front Royal and the City of Winchester, US 340/522 is a Principal Arterial roadway between I-66 and Front Royal and a Minor Arterial roadway to the north of I-66.

The goal of this STARS (Strategically Targeted Affordable Roadway Solutions) study is to identify improvement recommendations to enhance corridor operations and safety. The study is evaluating existing and future transportation conditions along a 1.1-mile segment of US 340/522 from the intersection with Route 637 (Guard Hill Road/Riverton Road) to the south, to the intersection with Route 655 (Country Club Road/Crooked Run Boulevard) to the north. Study intersections consist of four (4) signalized intersections, four (4) stop controlled intersections, and one (1) roundabout. VDOT is serving as the project manager for the study with ATCS Consulting developing the study, supporting analysis, and improvement concepts. Final study recommendations will be considered by the town and county for advancement through state transportation funding programs.
