The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) recently announced an improvement plan for the intersection of Route 460 (Challenger Avenue) and Alternate 220 (Cloverdale Road) in Botetourt. This $21.8 million project would reconstruct the existing intersection with a Displaced Left Turn (DLT) to improve safety and efficiency.

According to VDOT’s announcement, a Displaced Left Turn is an innovative intersection that allows left-turning vehicles and through-traffic to travel simultaneously through an intersection. The main intersection and crossovers are signalized and timed to work together to minimize stops.

The project involves:

  • Reconfiguring the existing intersection with a Displaced Left Turn design concept.
  • Reconstructing the westbound Route 460 ramp onto Alternate Route 220 to create median-separated lanes.
  • Reconstructing the southbound Alternate Route 220 right-turn slip ramp as dual right turns onto Route 460.
  • Modify the existing signal and install a new signal to support the new traffic patterns.
  • Constructing approximately 310 feet of the new roadway at Kingsmen Road.
  • Modifying access from Kingsman Road onto southbound Alternate Route 220 as a right in/right out concept.
  • Widening shoulders around the intersection.
