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 was advertised for construction bids in January 2011 [3] and construction began in May. [2]
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] and carries 2,900 vehicles a day. [2]
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.
During construction, the road will be closed for two months. [2]
