As of 2011, the City of Charlottesville and the Virginia Department of Transporation are planning on a series of improvements to improve the capacity of the intersection of U.S. 29 and U.S. 250. Some of these plans are based on the 29H250 study.
In summary, the plans call for additional lane on the ramp leading from U.S. 29 onto the westbound U.S. 250 bypass. This second lane will be extended all the way to the Barracks Road exit.
This project is listed on the MPO Policy Board's Transportation Improvement Program, indicating that it is a regional priority[1].
The city has saved up $4.2 million in state and federal funds to implement the plan, but a final design must be produced before construction can begin. [2]
In 2010, the MPO asked former Congressman Tom Perriello to secure a $517,000 earmark to pay for final design, but this was not successful. The city also will receive $1 million from the developer Edens and Avant as a proffer from the Stonefield development.
VDOT has assumed control of the project, but the city money will continue to be the source of funding. [3] VDOT is currently updating traffic data and hopes the project can be complete by November 2014. [4]
