Albemarle acquired a third of an acre in downtown Crozet back in June 2012 for future strategic purposes. This month construction has finally begun to improve the publicly-owned space known as the Square.
“The Square will see upgrades along 670 feet, including a new sidewalk near existing businesses, perpendicular parking on both sides of the road, and changes at the Crozet Avenue intersection,” reads an information release sent out earlier this year. “To improve the traffic flow, the intersection of The Square and Crozet Avenue will be converted into a right-turn-only intersection, meaning no left turns will be allowed from The Square onto Crozet Avenue or from Crozet Avenue onto The Square.”
The project is expected to take less than a year and no businesses will be expected to close along the way. A current timeline indicates the first stage has begun with the final work to take place in August when final paving, signing and striping is done.
