More changes are coming for traffic using Rt. 14 in Mathews.
Tomorrow, April 14, VDOT will begin a major rehab project on the Rt. 14 bridge over North End Branch to replace the superstructure—the portion of the bridge that absorbs the load.
This project will result in alternating one-way traffic through the work zone, which traffic controlled by temporary traffic signals. And the speed limit on Rt. 14 over North End Branch will be reduced from 55 to 35 mph.
Since this project is less than a mile from the Route 3/Route 14 project near Fort Nonsense VDOT announced it will also be reducing the speed limit from 55 to 45 mph between the two projects.
On Monday, April 28, a vehicle width restriction will be posted to 10 feet through the work zone to enhance safety.
The work zone speed limit, temporary traffic signals and vehicle width restriction will be in place until this $3.5 million is complete in June 2026.
