Wood Haven Road (Route 628) TO Plantation Road (Route 115)
The purpose of this study is to identify project recommendations for the Peters Creek Road (Route 117) and Williamson Road (Route 11) corridors within Roanoke County. This study will focus on improving roadway safety, reliability, multimodal accessibility/connectivity (bicycle, pedestrian, and transit), and transportation demand management needs. The project recommendations from this study may be developed into funding applications for SMART SCALE Round 6 and other transportation funding programs.
Roanoke County hosted a community meeting on March 18, 2024, at the Hollins Library, seeking input on possible multimodal and safety improvements for Peters Creek Road and Williamson Road between Wood Haven Road and Plantation Road. Click here for more information and to view the meeting exhibits.
