From I-295 to Atlee Road
The purpose of this study is to evaluate safety and operational issues and develop solutions along U.S. Route 301 (Chamberlayne Road) from I-295 to Atlee Road, including the Route 637 (Atlee Station Road) and Route 1206 (Cudlipp Avenue/Lockwood Boulevard) intersections, and along Atlee Road from U.S. Route 301 (Chamberlayne Road) to Barnfield Lane. This 1.1-mile corridor includes segments identified with VTrans Priority 2 District Needs. The study goals are to identify safety, capacity, transportation demand management, and accessibility (bicycle and transit) improvements along the corridor for all transportation users.
