PETERSBURG, Va. – The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) is seeking feedback on a transportation study assessing potential safety and operational improvements in Petersburg.
The survey, which has a translation tool for other languages, is part of a study that began last year. The purpose of this study is to identify concepts that focus on identified area needs, including safety improvement, congestion mitigation, pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure, and transit access. The study area includes:
- Wagner Road from S. Crater Road to Normandy Drive
- S. Crater Road from Wagner Road to Rives Road
- Rives Road from S. Crater Road to Lakeshore Drive
VDOT invites residents and travelers to learn more and take the online survey from April 15 through April 29. Community input received through this survey will help the study team refine the recommendations for potential improvements and determine whether to pursue future funding opportunities.

This study is being conducted as part of the Project Pipeline program, which was created by the Commonwealth Transportation Board (CTB). Project Pipeline is a performance-based planning program to identify cost-effective solutions to multimodal transportation needs in Virginia. Project Pipeline is led by Virginia’s Office of Intermodal Planning and Investment (OIPI), in collaboration with VDOT and the Department of Rail and Public Transportation (DRPT).
The study is expected to be complete in summer 2024; it does not set construction dates for any improvements. The final plans will provide multimodal investment strategies that can be used to seek and secure funding through programs including SMART SCALE, revenue sharing, interstate funding, and others.
