VDOT reports pavement, sweeping and upcoming projects in Hanover

Jul 22, 2026

VDOT presented routine maintenance and capital project updates: mowing operations under way, thin surface treatments finishing, mill/overlay contracts about halfway complete with fall completion targets, and upcoming projects including Route 301, Creighton Road left‑turn lanes and Greenwood/Blanton roundabout right‑of‑way work.

The full story

Philip Frasier, VDOT resident engineer for the Ashland residency (S21), told the board that thin surface treatments (cape seals, slurry, chip seals) are wrapping up, several mill‑and‑overlay contracts are about 50% complete with target completion in October–November, and a recent full‑depth reclamation project finished successfully. He said sweeping operations had been adjusted to give more continuous coverage in high‑need areas and that crews would address identified "holidays" (missed spots).
