The Virginia Department of Transportation in conjunction with design-build contractor
Branch Civil Inc. will hold a “Pardon Our Dust” public information meeting to discuss
construction impacts and traffic management for upcoming roadwork on Interstate 81
in Roanoke and Botetourt counties.
There will be a brief presentation given at 5:15 p.m. and 6:15 p.m. and
representatives will answer questions and provide information.
Interstate 81 will be widened to add one lane in each direction between exits 143 and
150. The project also includes replacing bridges over eight crossings on I-81 and
installing more than 1.5 miles of sound barrier along the northbound lanes. Two
ramps at exit 150 will be realigned and one will be removed. The improvements are
intended to reduce crashes, lessen delays and enhance crash response times.
