(Danville, Va.) – Danville work crews are scheduled to begin the next phase of the Riverside Drive reconstruction project on Monday, weather permitting.

The crossover of Riverside Drive at Neal Court will be closed in order to prepare and install base asphalt. The crossover should be reopened by the end of the week, if work goes according to schedule.

The project calls for the removal of the concrete base of the two eastbound lanes of Riverside Drive from the bridge over Sandy Creek to Audubon Drive. Work crews will replace it with a stone base with asphalt layers, eliminating the uneven surface of the roadway and reducing maintenance costs.

During construction, eastbound traffic on this section of Riverside Drive will be restricted to the far right lane.
