City continues multimodal upgrades throughout Scott’s Addition

Posted April 29, 2024

~ Enhancements will improve safety and access for people who walk, bike, ride transit or drive~

RICHMOND, Va. – Exciting changes are appearing in the Scott’s Addition neighborhood! Streets have been repaved, crosswalks are being improved, and the bike lane network will be expanded. This is one of the fastest growing neighborhoods in Richmond, so we know there will be some inconveniences while City crews are working.

Please give our construction workers extra space and slow down when you see orange cones in work zones.

Please be patient as we work to improve safety and accessibility in Scott’s Addition.

Construction work is expected to be completed by Summer 2024, weather permitting.
