Ongoing County Projects

County Road 209 (Russell Road) from Peters Creek Bridge to US 17, Bonded Transportation Program project #2 (Lake Asbury)- Widen the roadway to four lanes with a median, turn lanes, bike lanes, curb and gutter, and sidewalks from CR 315B to US 17 and from CR 315 to south of Peters Creek Bridge. Drivers should expect single-lane closures, delays, and occasional weekend work through spring 2027. Crews may work at night to reduce daytime impacts and finish faster, which could cause temporary noise, vibration, and lighting for nearby residents.

County Road 209 (Russell Road) from Sandridge Road to Peters Creek Bridge, Bonded Transportation Program project 3B (Lake Asbury)- Widening and realigning the east end of Sandridge Road (CR 739B) where it connects to County Road 209B, along with operational improvements at the County Road 209 and County Road 209B intersection to improve traffic flow and safety. Motorists should expect a 25 mph low-speed zone and day and nighttime single-lane closures in the work area. The project is anticipated to be completed in summer 2026.

County Road 218, Bonded Transportation Program project #1 (Middleburg) - Widen and reconstruct a 2.7-mile roadway from Masters Road to Pine Tree Lane into four lanes with a median, turn lanes, curbs, gutters, sidewalks, and bike lanes, and resurface the road from Cosmos Avenue to Pine Tree Lane. Drivers should expect lane closures, traffic shifts, and a 25 mph speed limit throughout the work zone. Crews may work at night to reduce daytime impacts and finish faster, which could cause temporary noise, vibration, and lighting for nearby residents. Project completion is expected in summer 2026.

County Road 220 widening and reconstruction Phase 1 and Phase 2 projects (Middleburg/Lakeside) - Phase 1 work began in December 2024 and includes intersection improvements at Rideout Ferry Road.

Both phases are expected to be completed in late 2026, with detours in place throughout the project. Crews may work at night to reduce daytime impacts and finish faster, which could cause temporary noise, vibration, and lighting for nearby residents.
