Due to the widespread power outages caused by Hurricane Irene, drivers should be reminded that an intersection with inoperable traffic lights should be treated as a four-way stop.

      When arriving at an intersection with inoperable traffic lights, stop, look for oncoming traffic and proceed when it is safe to do so. If you arrive at an intersection at the same time as another driver, the driver to the right has the right of way.

CHESTERFIELD COUNTY, VA — Charter Landing Drive is scheduled to be closed for asphalt repair. The work is scheduled to take place between Monday, Feb. 14 at 7:30 a.m. and Wednesday, Feb. 16, at about 4 p.m. The road will be closed between Charter Park Drive to Wiley Circle. 

For more information, contact the Chesterfield County Department of Utilities at 748-1310.

Pocahontas 895 is implementing a scheduled toll price increase beginning on Monday, February 7. Two-axle passenger vehicles passing through the Main Plaza will pay an extra quarter, but only during morning and afternoon commute times – between the hours of 6 and 9 a.m., and 3 and 6 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Tolls will remain the same, however, for two-axle vehicles traveling outside of weekday commute times, and on weekends.

“We hope that limiting the toll increase to only part of the day will make it a little easier for our customers, and give them some flexibility to travel on Pocahontas 895 at a lower rate as their schedules may permit,” said Kevin Longenbach, vice president of operations and development for Transurban, which manages Pocahontas 895.
