REPAVING WORK SCHEDULED TO BEGIN IN HISTORIC YORKTOWN 

Motorists can expect road closures and flagging operations starting as early as April 28 

YORK COUNTY Contractor crews with the Virginia of Transportation (VDOT) will be performing paving work in Historic Yorktown, starting as early as April 28 through late spring.  

 

The work will include milling and paving the roadways throughout the downtown area  

stretching from the Colonial Parkway to the U.S. Coast Guard Station, including Water Street between the Colonial Parkway overpass to the picnic area entrance, Ballard Street up to the Coast Guard Station, and all other cross streets. These operations are scheduled to begin with Nelson Road, Ballard Street, Cornwallis Road, Lafayette Road, Moore House Road and Moore Lane. 

 

During construction, motorists should expect daytime lane closures with flagging operations, from as early as 5 a.m. to 7 p.m. Intermittent temporary daytime closures with detours will also be implemented as needed for Matthews Street from southbound Route 17 to the waterfront and for Alexander Hamilton Boulevard from Route 17. Crews will work to minimize impacts and mitigate traffic issues as much as possible. Access will be maintained for local businesses and residences.  

 

All work is weather- and schedule-dependent; therefore, this schedule is subject to change. 

 

Before hitting the road, consider using VDOT's free 511 Virginia traffic tools, or the free 511-integrated Waze GPS app, to check for the most up-to-date road and travel conditions. VDOT’s 511Virginia.org website and mobile app offer information about construction, traffic, incidents, and congestion, as well as access to traffic cameras, weather-related impacts and more.
