The Route 29 Solutions is a package of transportation projects budgeted at $230 million that were approved in the summer of 2014 in the wake of the demise of the Western Bypass.

Background

The projects were developed rapidly after the Federal Highway Administration raised doubts that it would approve the bypass without seeing alternatives. Governor Terry McAuliffe decided to pursue other options to relieve congestion on U.S. 29 in Albemarle County and hired Philip Shucet to oversee a Route 29 Advisory Panel consisting of stakeholders from throughout the region, though the group never took a vote on the former VDOT commissioner's recommendations. A Route 29 Project Delivery Advisory Panel reviewed the project as the request for proposals for three of them were developed.
