1964 - Study examined potential to widen Route 220 between Clifton Forge
and Roanoke.
1990’s - Study examined a section of Route 220 from Roanoke to Clifton
Forge as part of the TransAmerica Corridor to provide 4 lanes.
Funding not acquired as part of this effort.
Early 2000’s - Preliminary plans developed for three projects to 4-lane
approximately 7.2 miles. Portion of right of way acquired.
Insufficient funds to finalize design and acquire all right of way.
2012 thru 2013 - Highway Safety Improvement Projects extended shoulders where
possible, upgraded and installed guardrail, upgraded signs, added
rumble strips, and enhanced markings in roadway.
2015 - Final plans being developed as a Safety Improvement Project
replacing two narrow bridges north of Route 43 Intersection.
2015 - Begin development of preliminary plans as a safety improvement
project to upgrade the two-lane roadway from Route 43 Intersection
to Route 727 Intersection. Proposed as three (3) projects in the Six
Year Plan. Phase 1 is fully funded.
