Loudon County and Virginia Department of Transportation, or VDOT, propose to improve traffic flow and alleviate traffic delays at the intersection of Route 7 and Route 659. This project would support the County’s goal of widening Route 7 to eight lanes and includes a single-point urban interchange, which would carry Route 659 over Route 7. A single traffic signal would be installed above the single-point interchange on the bridge deck, and all turning movements would be adequately accommodated by the interchange. Route 659 is proposed to include a four-lane divided roadway with a wide median to accommodate future widening to six lanes in the median. The need for an interchange at the existing intersection is evident from existing travel patterns, peak hour delays, and backups (queues) at the existing signal. The proposed work will permanently impact 0.397 ac. of nontidal forested wetlands, 0.156 ac. of nontidal emergent wetlands, 0.013 ac. of nontidal open water wetlands, 1994 linear feet of streams. In addition, the proposed work will result in temporary impacts to 0.012 ac. of nontidal emergent wetlands, 0.007 ac. of nontidal open water wetlands and 275 linear feet of streams.

Navy Region Mid-Atlantic proposes to upgrade a section of the existing tactical vehicle trail located along the southern boundary of the Small Arms Testing and Evaluation Compound (SATEC) at Joint Expeditionary Base Fort Story in Virginia Beach to create an approximately 2,000-foot roadway section that replicates an improved road surface. The purpose of the project is to upgrade the straightway section of the trail network to replicate an improved roadway layout and surface to develop more realistic scenarios that work in concert with the existing SATEC facilities. The project would impact approximately 2.25 acres of historically disturbed nontidal, emergent wetlands. The applicant proposes to provide compensatory mitigation by purchasing credits at a 1:1 ratio from the Middle Peninsula Environmental Properties Inc.’s Wetland Mitigation Bank. The comment period ends on December 13, 2013.
