The Jarmans Gap Road improvements are a long-planned set of improvements to widen Jarmans Gap Road, the major east-west thoroughfare in Crozet, including the addition of bike lanes and sidewalks. The project was advertised for construction bids in January 2011[3] and construction began in May.[2]
Design
From Half Mile Branch to Jarman’s Lane, plans are for a two-lane rural section with shoulder widening to five feet. From Old Trail Drive to Crozet Avenue, plans are for an urban section with two travel lanes and some turn lanes, measuring 12 feet wide total; as well as shared, 4 feet wide bicycle lanes, curb and gutter on both sides of the roadway, and a five foot sidewalk on the north side of Route 691. [4]
Construction progress
The road's intersection with Route 240 (Crozet Avenue) was closed for five weeks beginning on September 15, 2010 for utility relocation.[5]
During construction, the road will be closed for two months [2] for installation of a box culvert on Powells Creek. [6]
