VDOT reported in November 2007 that the project has been split into two phases. The first phase will be "from Route 240 to about 0.5 miles east of Route 684" and is now scheduled for advertisement in November of 2010. However, Allan Sumpter warned the Board of Supervisors on January 7, 2009, that the project could be $2 million short due to additional cuts in VDOT's secondary road allocations to localities. As of June 2009 the Right of Way phase was approved and advertisement for construction is planned for January 2011.[2]
Part of Crozet Master Plan, VDOT handling design, a priority on County’s Secondary Six-Year Improvement Program. |

The Jarmans Gap Road project is a long-planned set of improvements to widen a major thoroughfare in Crozet and to add bike lanes and sidewalks. The project is expected to go to bid in January 2011, but utility poles are already being cleared[3] The road's intersection with Route 240 (Crozet Avenue) was closed for five weeks beginning on September 15, 2010 for utility relocation. Jarmans Gap Road is the major east-west thoroughfare in Crozet[4]. From Half Mile Branch to Jarman’s Lane, it is expected to be a two-lane rural section with shoulder widening to five- feet. From Old Trail Drive to Crozet Avenue, it will be an urban section with two travel lanes and some turn lanes, including shared bicycle lanes, curb and gutter and a five - foot sidewalk on the north side.
