What's Being Done

VDOT has identified several sight distance problems along a one mile section of Nash Road (Rt. 636) between Eastfair Drive and Applewhite Lane near Woodland Pond in Chesterfield County. The proposed project would improve safety conditions for motorists, bicyclists and pedestrians by adjusting the grade and alignment. In addition, the road will be widened to 12 feet in each direction, have eight foot safety shoulders and a six foot ditch for drainage where required. Currently, Nash Road has two 9-foot lanes, one foot shoulders and two foot drainage ditches.

Construction of this project would require VDOT to purchase right of way and easements for utility relocation and construction of slopes. However, no residences, businesses or non-profit organizations will be displaced as a result of this project.

According to 2006 traffic data, approximately 10,000 motorists travel along Nash Road each day. By 2035, more than 31,000 motorists are expected to use Nash Road each day—a 300 percent increase.
