Contractors will begin work next week on repairs to crosswalks at the Beverley and Augusta Street and Beverley and Market Street intersections in downtown Staunton. Work will begin first on the Augusta Street intersection. Augusta Street will be closed to traffic at Beverley from 8 a.m. until 6 p.m. on Monday, April 30. Traffic will be detoured to Lewis Street for the day. The detour will be marked with signs. Beverley Street traffic will be limited to a single lane at Augusta, but will not be blocked.
Work on the intersection is expected to last about two weeks. After Monday, through traffic will be allowed on both Augusta and Beverley, although it will be limited to a single lane. Flagmen will be used.
Once construction on the intersection is complete, all traffic may again be detoured for a day to allow for paving. An announcement of that detour will be made when the schedule is known.
When work on the Augusta Street intersection is done, crews will shift to the Beverley and Market Street intersection. No detours are anticipated at that intersection until final paving work is scheduled – although through traffic will be limited to single lanes and flagmen will be used.
Drivers are urged to use extra caution in the downtown area during this work, and to watch for construction workers, equipment and new traffic patterns.
NOTE: The utility relocation work at the Churchville Avenue and Augusta Street intersection is nearing completion and that intersection has been opened to traffic. No further blockage of that intersection is anticipated as part of utility work. The relocation work is in preparation for the larger Churchville Avenue expansion project.
