Site work and paving for a road / highway in Midlothian, Virginia. Design plans call for site work for a road / highway; and for paving for a road / highway.

Central Virginia Transportation Authority (CVTA) funds are being used to design the Route 288 Northbound flyover ramp to the Bailey Bridge Connector project. This improvement was recommended in a series of projects identified in the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) US 360/Route 288 Interchange Area Study. As required by VDOT, an Interchange Justification Report (IJR) was completed in 2018. This study evaluated the proposed improvements to ensure they addressed existing and future traffic operations and safety issues to the extent feasible. The following project component are being considered: -construct a flyover ramp from Route 288 Northbound to the future Bailey Bridge Connector (near Commonwealth Centre Parkway) -extend the Bailey Bridge Connector from Brad McNeer Parkway to Route 288 -construct a partial diverging diamond interchange (DDI) to control traffic accessing Route 288 and the Bailey Bridge Connector construct roundabouts: -Bailey Bridge Connector at Commonwealth Centre Connector -Commonwealth Centre Connector at Commonwealth Centre Parkway -cul-de-sac Commonwealth Centre Parkway north of the Bailey Bridge Connector -realign and widen the Route 288 Southbound collector-distributor (C-D) road ramp to two lanes The new interchange will provide an alternate route to Route 360 and Bailey Bridge Road and direct access to the Commonwealth Centre and Swift Creek shopping centers and reduce traffic volumes and back-ups at the Route 288 Northbound ramp to Route 360 Westbound. This project is included in the County's 2024 Capital Improvement Program (CIP). As of November 26, 2024, preliminary engineering has begun. The right-of-way acquisition and construction phases are not funded at this time. *Project information has been obtained through a public capital improvement plan (CIP). A CIP is a financial schedule for short- and long-range projects which is updated regularly. Information listed in the CIP often evolves based on funding availability and the project details, including timeline and value, are subject to change. The content management team will continue to pursue additional details as they become available.
