Project is part of the Youth Driver Task Force recommendations and is included in the 2008 Transportation Bond Referendum. Cost is @ $5.2 M. Improvements project will reconstruct Brooke Road to meet VDOT 3R standards (resurfacing, restoration, and rehabilitation). Improvements include horizontal and vertical realignment, typical section improvements (lane width, shoulder width, and roadside features), and sight distance improvements.
