A Route 288 Connection

The Public-Private Transportation Act of 1995 (PPTA), allowed the Virginia Department of Transportation to award a $236 million contract to APAC-Virginia, Inc. of Danville for the completion of Route 288. APAC-Virginia, Inc. will work in partnership with CH2MHill of Herndon, Virginia and Koch Performance Roads of Wichita, Kansas.

The project will build new segments of Route 288 in Powhatan and Goochland counties and complete four lanes of Route 288 from the Powhite Parkway (Route 76) in Chesterfield County to Interstate 64 in Goochland County, completing a planned western loop around Richmond. The project totals 17.5 miles and is planned for completion by late 2003.

A web page has been established to go into further details about the project including description of the James River Bridge, the 10 interchanges, FAQ page, maps and more. For more information visit www.Route288.com
