Did you hear that great sigh of relief from all of the residents in Gainesville Virginia this week? Finally Route 66 is running EIGHT lanes all the way to Route 29 exit in Gainesville. Yee Ha!
What's Next You Ask
The project to improve the Route 29/Linton Hall Road interchange when complete will be one of the largest construction projects in Virginia Transportation history.
The centerpiece of the project is a pair of overpasses: one carrying Route 29 over the Norfolk Southern Railroad, and one carrying Linton Hall and Gallerher roads over the railroad and Route 29. To further improve traffic flow, crews will also widen Route 29 to six lanes and eliminate driveway entrances and two traffic signals between I-66 and Virginia Oaks Drive.
The new, grade-separated interchange at Route 29/Linton Hall Road will create a limited-access facility on Route 29 between Virginia Oaks Drive and Heathcote Boulevard.
