Fairground Road Roundabout Construction Update - Paving Expected to Begin June 30th
Virginia Department of Transportation has informed the County that final surface paving is expected to begin on Friday, June 30th and will continue until complete, weather permitting. Drivers should expect delays and flagging operations along Sandy Hook Road while paving occurs.
Paving was scheduled to occur over the past couple weeks but had been delayed due to weather and contractor scheduling. The contractor has been on site several times during this period, installing lighting and traffic control signage.
Citizens, business owners, and visitors can still expect the Fairground Road Roundabout to be open by July 4th to accommodate traffic for Goochland County’s Fireworks Celebration that evening. Citizens are reminded to be prepared for extensive traffic delays before and after that event. Local road closures will be enacted by the Goochland County Sheriff’s Office based on traffic conditions and event parking capacity.
Once final paving is completed, the contractor will install final striping around the roundabout and will complete any remaining issues to close out the project. Drivers are encouraged to continue following posted detours until all the work is complete.
This expected early completion and opening is more than 2 months ahead of the original schedule! This was made possible through the collective efforts of County and Virginia Department of Transportation staff to have Phases 3 and 4 work take place simultaneously. The County would like to thank our partners at VDOT for working with us to keep the project ahead of schedule.

Perhaps the plan is to pave at night? I say this as no paving had been done prior to 8 pm Friday 6/30. And keep in mind that it isn't just paving that is required, as signage needs to be installed prior to calling the project done and allowing for Fairground Road to be reopened.
