VDOT details short‑term safety fixes, speed study and bridge progress in Hanover

Philip Frazier, VDOT resident engineer for the Ashland residency, told the board the department is finishing resurfacing and preparing for winter operations, including mobilizing contracted equipment and state forces. He said a fatality at the Elmont–Ashcake intersection prompted a post‑crash review and short‑term measures such as adding dual 'stop ahead' warnings, dual stop signs and reflective graphics on sign poles to improve visibility.
