Several weeks of closures coming to streets near Henrico, Hanover line

HENRICO COUNTY, Va. (WRIC) -- Several weeks of closures are coming to two streets near the border of Henrico and Hanover counties to allow for a sewer main to be replaced and a roundabout to be installed.

Starting on Tuesday, Sept. 30, portions of Holman Drive and Shady Grove Road will see daily road closures from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., according to a Sept. 26 press release.

The project will be carried out in three phases, each with a different work area along these streets.

"Non-local drivers are encouraged to avoid the area during all three phases if possible," Henrico officials said in the release.
