Access between U.S. 29, Route 55 will be restricted
Beginning Thursday, Sept. 23, motorists in Gainesville will no longer be able to turn right from U.S. 29 South onto Route 55 (John Marshall Highway), or access U.S. 29 from Route 55. The Virginia Department of Transportation is permanently closing this access point as part of its U.S. 29 and Linton Hall Road interchange project.
Once the access is closed, motorists can use Heathcote Boulevard to Catharpin Road to Route 55, or use Gallerher Road to Route 55. Access to businesses on Route 55 between U.S. 29 and Gallerher Road will not be affected by this closure.
Earlier this summer, VDOT broke ground on the four-year construction project that includes widening U.S. 29 through Gainesville and building two bridges over the railroad tracks.
Crews are currently building temporary detour roads for U.S. 29 and Linton Hall Road.
Once the detour roads are completed two years from now, crews will begin building the interchange. The entire project will be completed by the end of 2014.
