At Virginia Natural Gas, we are committed to safely and reliably providing natural gas to the communities we serve. As part of this commitment, we have established the Steps to Advance Virginia’s Energy (SAVE) program, a pipeline modernization initiative aimed at renewing existing natural gas infrastructure to enhance the integrity, reliability and safety of our pipeline system. Through these SAVE projects, aging pipes are replaced with new ones that are more durable, reduce methane emissions and are less expensive to maintain.
Project Details
The Walnut/Fox Hill Rd. SAVE project will involve some temporary lane closures on Fox Hill Rd., a four-lane street, with the two center lanes occasionally closed for construction. Roadwork will take place daily between 8:30 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. (subject to change). While this may affect traffic flow, especially during busy school times, we’re working to keep things moving as smoothly as possible. Some travel delays might occur during morning drop-off and afternoon pick-up, and access to neighborhoods will be adjusted for everyone’s safety and convenience. Please be mindful when traveling near construction areas and keep an eye out for posted detour signs, especially those noting changes to left turns.
We appreciate your patience and cooperation as we partner together to make lasting improvements for the community.
Scheduled Road Closure Overview
As part of our continued efforts to improve local infrastructure, upcoming road work for this project will take place in three phases along Fox Hill Rd., with each phase anticipated to last around two months.
We’re dedicated to keeping our residents and businesses informed ahead of any construction that may affect daily travel. During this time, we kindly encourage you to explore alternate routes and allow a bit of extra time for your commute.
