‘Pardon Our Dust" meeting scheduled for Route 220 and Route 419 intersection improvements in Roanoke and Roanoke County

SALEM – The Virginia Department of Transportation will hold a “Pardon Our Dust” public information meeting to discuss construction impacts and traffic management for upcoming roadwork on Route 220 and Route 419 in Roanoke County and Roanoke.

The meeting will be held on Monday, February 3, from 5 to 7 p.m. at the South County Library located at 6303 Merriman Road in Roanoke. There will be a brief presentation given at 5:15 p.m. and 6:15 p.m. Representatives will answer questions and provide information about construction phasing and traffic impacts.

The Route 220/Route 419 interchange will be reconfigured with a diverging diamond concept and multiple intersections on both Route 220 and Route 419 will be modified to enhance signal timing and reduce congestion.

The intersections on Route 220 are at Valley Avenue/Southern Hills Drive, Crossbow Circle/Pheasant Ridge Road, Buck Mountain Road/Stable Road and Indian Grave Road/Clearbrook Village Lane. The intersections on Route 419 are at Ogden Road, Elm View Road and South Peak Boulevard.

Construction is expected to begin in early 2025 with work activities scheduled and completed at different locations throughout the life of the project. Overall completion is anticipated in fall 2028.
