See Orange? Slow Down!

At any time, Virginia Department of Transportation crews or their contractors are working on more than 500 highway construction and maintenance projects across the Commonwealth. Each year, hundreds of motorists are injured or killed in Virginia highway work zone accidents. Don't become another statistic. When you drive on Virginia's highways, look for the color orange, which marks highway improvement projects. As you approach one of these work zones, proceed with caution and drive at the posted speed. Exceeding the speed limit in a Virginia highway work zone carries fines of up to $250. Keep an eye out for highway workers and "Give 'em a Brake!" For the locations of major ongoing highway projects through which you could experience delays, go to the map listing of current highway construction projects. The map pinpoints locations of selected highway construction and maintenance work areas on major highway corridors in Virginia. Do you have questions about road construction in Virginia?
