Prince Edward County Board of Supervisors recently selected Hurt & Proffitt to provide all the engineering design services, environmental permitting and construction administration and inspection services for the development of the new alternate Route 628 in Prince Edward County. The new roadway will be approximately 4,000 feet in length and it will serve the new Granite Falls Hotel and Conference Center. The new roadway will provide two 12 ft wide travel lanes with bike lanes on either side of the roadway. The new roadway will connect to Route 15 at its intersection with Dominion Drive. The intersection signals will be upgraded to allow for the new 4 way intersection. The project will be a Locally Administered Project funded through VDOT’s revenue sharing program.
The new roadway will provide the opportunity for Prince Edward County to remove existing through traffic from the current location of Route 628. Existing Route 628 serves the educational school complex for the County.
The project manager for Prince Edward County will be Ms. Sharon Carney, EDA Director.
