~ City plans new traffic signals to improve safety and access for people who walk, roll and drive ~

RICHMOND, Va. – Starting in mid-February, the Department of Public Works will begin work to install new traffic signals at the following intersections:

• Cary Street at Libbie Avenue
• Clarkson Road at Warwick Road
• Granite Avenue at Grove Avenue

This project includes the installation of new traffic signal poles and equipment, new accessible curb ramps, pedestrian countdown signals, high visibility crosswalks, traffic signal controllers, and traffic signal indications with high visibility backplates.

During construction, there will be intermittent lane and sidewalk closures. Please give our construction workers extra space and slow down when you see orange cones in the work zones.

Weather permitting, this project is scheduled for completion by Winter 2025.

Funding for this $2.112 million project is provided by the Federal Highway Administration and Virginia Department of Transportation through the Virginia Highway Safety Improvement Program.
