WATCH: Plan to reduce traffic congestion along Routes 419 and 220

Routes 220 and and Route 419 are two of the busiest corridors in our region.

VDOT says some major improvements are coming that are meant to reduce congestion and improve safety.

They included changes to three intersections on 419 in Roanoke City, Roanoke County and Franklin County- as well as seven on 220 in those areas.

Henry County VDOT says some side street traffic will be redirected to turn lanes.

“By doing that small change that just affects a little bit of traffic, it makes a significant difference in how the signal functions, and provides more green time, which reduces congestion,” Jason Bond, VDOT Spokesman, said.

Construction is set to begin early next year and be completed by 2028.
