GAINESVILLE― Two-way traffic on Old Linton Hall Road will be restored by Jan. 31, according to the Virginia Department of Transportation. The road has been limited to southbound traffic only between Whitney Road and Lakeview Drive since mid-October, as crews install a 24-inch water main as part of the Route 29/Linton Hall Road interchange project. The work was expected to take about one month, but has been delayed by utility conflicts.

Motorists traveling northbound are detoured via Lakeview Drive and Huron Drive (see detour map below). Message boards and detour signs are posted throughout the area.

See VDOT's project page for more details on the $267 million Route 29/Linton Hall Road interchange project, which will be complete in 2015.
