RICHMOND, VA – The city launched an ARPA funded beautification initiative last fall to create and improve gateways throughout the city. Seven of eight locations have been completed. The final location on Broad Street between 4th and 7th streets will feature unique lighting and landscaping. The city expects completion of this project by late fall in 2025.

There will be intermittent lane closures and there will be some minor delays when travelling through the area.
