VDOT will have exact dates for the repaving about 10 days
before the work is scheduled to begin. “No parking” signs will be posted in
subdivisions at least three days in advance. The work is expected to be limited to

Oh!!!! please tell me that Castle place and Castle Road are going to be repaved. They have more bumps than a 16 year old with acne and have been patched more than Phyllis diller. Whispering Lane you've got to be kidding me. It was paved not more than 5 years ago. Who lives on that street? New curbs sidewalks and as soon as a crack appears VDOT is right there
The VDOT map doesn't include Castle Pl./Rd. Better buy an off road vehicle.
Spring Valley Dr. on the South side of Braddock, Mitchell St., Clinton Rd. and Colebrook Pl. have not been repaved for nearly fourteen years. Yes, that is 14 years. And we are still not on the list!
Isn't that par for the course when it comes to side streets? VDOT tends to focus on major thoroughfares. We're on the list this time, but it's been about 15 years since our side street was last repaved. The most likely reason is that stretches of our street are turning to gravel.
Seriously, Ridge Rd hasn't been paved since Tom Davis was the Supervisor of Mason District.
Gallows Road? Thank god. I am so tired of slaloming up and down that blasted thing every day. Why the heaviest-use roads don't get more frequent service is beyond me–and patchwork that only leaves a cobblestone effect a few months later doesn't count.
But Whispering and Oakwood? You have to be kidding.
