Coming Soon

• Phase 1
  This phase is a $1.7 million dollar improvement which is necessary because of the high accident rate in the area. The new design will realign a sharp curve on Mount Pleasant Road and change the existing roadway which consists of two 11-foot lanes with a one-foot shoulder to two 12-foot lanes with a total shoulder width of six-feet. Five-feet of this area will be paved. The scheduled construction advertising date for this phase is July 2010.

• Phase 2
  The second phase will add a left turn lane on Mount Pleasant Road at Fentress Airfield Road at a cost of $2.8 million. The scheduled construction advertising date is June 2010.

• Phase 3
  The final phase costing $15.6 million will widen Mount Pleasant Road. This project would extend from the Chesapeake Expressway (Route 168) to Etheridge Road.  The $15.6 million project cost includes $1.53 million for preliminary engineering/design, $4.8 million in right-of-way costs and $9.28 million for construction. The scheduled construction advertising date is February 2013. 
   

Total Estimated Cost for Entire Project: $20.1 million

Current Status:
Preliminary Engineering for the widening of Mount Pleasant Road was authorized in November 2007. VDOT is currently in the process of selecting a design consultant for the project.
