Trail section closed for 2-3 Weeks for Bridgework between MM 3 & MM 4 (James City County Section) Starting Monday, January 5th
VDOT will implement a multi-week closure of the Trail between MM 3 & MM 4 in the Jamestown section to replace the bridge deck and substructure. Originally scheduled to begin December 8th, the work start date has been postponed to Monday, January 5th, due to weather events. The Trail will be closed from John Tyler Highway, east of Governor’s Landing Rd, to Heritage Landing Rd for approximately 2–3 weeks, weather permitting. There will be no detour available. Crews will install new textured composite decking to improve traction and provide a safer, more reliable surface for pedestrians and cyclists. For a map of the impacted section, please click here.

Self-sustaining lighting will be installed along the Capital Trail throughout the Rocketts Landing area (between MM 50 - MM 51) for increased pedestrian safety. Installation timeframe TBA. For more details, please click here.
