VDOT News - Richmond

Due to weather conditions, the closure has been moved to Tuesday, December 6.

SOUTH CHESTERFIELD, Va. – The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) will close the ramp from N. Belvidere Street (Route 1/301) north to I-95 south in the City of Richmond starting the morning of Tuesday, December 6.

Weather permitting, the closure is expected to be in place until early 2024.

The previously closed ramp from N. Belvidere Street south to I-95 south will reopen to traffic at the same time.

The ramp closure is part of an ongoing interchange improvement project.

Separate detours will be in place for passenger vehicle traffic and truck traffic. For the passenger vehicle detour, a temporary traffic signal will be in place to allow traffic to make a U-turn at Mitchell Street. The detours are listed as follows:

• Passenger vehicle detour – Take N. Belvidere St. (Rt. 1/301) north to Mitchell St. Make a U-turn onto N. Belvidere St. south to the ramp to I-95 south.
  
• Truck detour – Take N. Belvidere St. (Rt. 1/301) to I-95 north to Hermitage Road south (Exit 78) to Robin Hood Road to the ramp to I-95 south.
  

The project will improve safety and traffic flow by realigning the on ramp from Belvidere Street to I-95 south/I-64 east and removing an existing ramp from Brook Road. Also, crosswalk improvements near the start of the ramp (on Belvidere Street) will increase pedestrian safety and accessibility in the area.
