Exeter Lane to Juggins Road Connector
The purpose of this study is to analyze the safety and multimodal issues identified along Route 684 (Mine Road) from Juggins Road Connector to Exeter Lane, with a focus on providing safety improvements, transportation demand management (TDM), and bicycle, pedestrian, and transit access. There are gaps in the existing study area bicycle and pedestrian networks, and Mine Road is a Statewide Top 5% corridor in the VDOT Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety Action Plan. The objective of this study is to identify cost-effective preferred improvement alternatives that address the documented needs.
The Phase 1 survey regarding current transportation needs on Mine Road from Juggins Road Connector to the Exeter Lane area was completed in May 2025. The study team will use the input obtained from the public to better focus on solutions and develop alternatives to address the identified needs.
