VDOT News - Culpeper

CULPEPER — The intersection of Rogues Road at Kennedy Road West opened to traffic today. Contractors with The Virginia Department of Transportation have completed a project to improve safety and traffic flow near Kettle Run High School and Greenville Elementary School in Fauquier County. 

Work crews began the project in May of 2022 to make the area safer for the traveling public as well as pedestrians and bicyclists. The upgrades include a new northbound left turn lane from Rogues Road onto Kennedy Road. 

The signals are now modified at Academic Avenue to allow pedestrians a safe crossing. Plus, a new 10-foot-wide shared use path extends from Route 1521 (Grapewood Drive) to Kennedy Road. 

The project cost totaled $5.5 million. 

Updates on Culpeper District activities are on the district’s Facebook page and the district’s Twitter account, @VaDOTCulp. For questions or to report hazardous road conditions, the public should contact VDOT’s 24-hour Customer Service Center by visiting my.vdot.virginia.gov or calling 800-FOR-ROAD (367-7623).
