NEW TRAFFIC PATTERN BEGINS NEXT WEEK

 ON MAURY STREET IN RICHMOND

Separate detour will be in place for trucks

 

RICHMOND, Va. – Overnight Thursday, September 30, the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) will begin implementing a new traffic pattern on Maury Street in Richmond as part of a roundabout and interchange improvement project.  

 

Weather permitting, the traffic shift will be complete by Friday, October 1.

 

There will be two separate detours in place for passenger vehicles and trucks:

 

Passenger vehicles:

 

To access I-95 or 4^th St. from Maury St. – Take Commerce Rd. south to Dinwiddie Ave. west to 4th St. (then onto the I-95 ramp if needed).

or

Continue on Maury St. using newly constructed portion of roundabout to access I-95, 4th St. or to stay on Maury St. (Note: Trucks will be prohibited on this detour route. Use the below designated truck detours.)

Trucks:

To access I-95 or 4^th St. from Maury St. – Take Commerce Rd. south to Dinwiddie Ave. to 4th St. north (then onto the I-95 ramp if needed).

or

Take Commerce Rd. north to Hull St. west to 3rd St. south back to Maury St.

The Exit 73 ramp from I-95 to Maury Street will not be affected by this traffic shift. Two segments of 4^th Street, between Everett Street and Maury Street, and between Maury Street and the on ramp to I-95, remain closed as part of the project.

The primary purpose of the $7.9 million project is to improve traffic flow through the I-95/Maury Street interchange during peak hours. The project will address current deficiencies in capacity, geometry and safety.
