OVERNIGHT LANE CLOSURES MAY 22 – 25 FOR PAVING ON ROUTE 37 IN FREDERICK COUNTY
STAUNTON – Paving operations will require overnight lane closures May 22 – 25 on Route 37 northbound and southbound in Frederick County. This work zone extends from the Interstate 81 exit 310 (Kernstown) interchange to the Route 37 bridge over Route 11.
Alternating lane closures on Route 37 take place Monday through Thursday nights from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. the following mornings. The speed limit on Route 37 through the work zone is 35 miles an hour. Virginia State Police will assist with traffic control. All work is weather permitting.
The Route 37 paving is part of the I-81 exit 310 reconstruction project, which is designed to alleviate I-81 mainline traffic backups from the exit ramps. General Excavation Inc. (GEI) of Warrenton, Va. was awarded a construction contract valued at nearly $25 million. The Virginia Department of Transportation estimates a summer 2017 completion.
