SALEM – The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) invites the public to attend a design public hearing for a project to replace a damaged drainage pipe along a section of Route 52 (Fancy Gap Highway) in Carroll County.

The hearing will be held on Thursday, November 14, 2024, from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m., at VDOT’s Hillsville Residency Office, located at 239 Virginia Street in Hillsville. The hearing will be held in an “open-house” format, and VDOT representatives will be present to answer questions.

The project involves replacing a damaged corrugate metal pipe with approximately 265 feet of 42-inch-diameter plastic pipe with two access locations.
