Be alert to daily traffic pattern changes at Route 83 roundabout work zone
Possibility of weekday traffic pattern changes for approximately three weeks
BRISTOL — Beginning Thursday, November 5, motorists should expect daily traffic pattern changes on weekdays for approximately three weeks in the Route 83 roundabout work zone in Dickenson County.
Crews will work to construct the southern side/Caney Ridge side of the roundabout, requiring flaggers to direct traffic and creating the possibility of multiple traffic pattern changes each weekday.
Motorists are advised to pay close attention to signs and workers directing traffic through the work zone.
The temporary road on Route 637 N (Rose Ridge) will be closed once operations begin on November 5.
