VDOT lights up traffic signal at Route 11 and Renaissance Drive in Frederick County

STAUNTON — A traffic signal at the intersection of Route 11 (Valley Pike) and Route 873 (Renaissance Drive) in Frederick County went into flash mode this morning (Wednesday, June 18). The signal, located about halfway between Winchester and Stephens City, is scheduled to go into full operation on Wednesday, June 25. Motorists should be alert for the traffic-control changes and slowed or stopped vehicles at the intersection.

The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) constructed the signal several years ago. It is being activated due to completion of Renaissance Drive between Route 11 and Route 651 (Shady Elm Road). The Renaissance Drive extension is administered by Frederick County, funded partly by VDOT’s Revenue Sharing program. As part of the project, the railroad crossing on nearby Route 649 (Springdale Road) is to be closed, which will bring additional traffic to Renaissance Drive.

All work is weather permitting, and the signal-activation schedule is subject to change.
