Hearing set on Buchanan County section of expressway
The Virginia Department of Transportation will hold a location and design public hearing next month on a proposed section of the Coalfields Expressway in Buchanan County.
The hearing will be held Tuesday, May 13 from 4-7 p.m. at Russell Prater Elementary School, located at 8433 Lover’s Gap Road in Vansant.
The hearing’s purpose is to give citizens an opportunity to review and discuss preliminary plans for the proposed Hawk’s Nest section of Route 121, located between the proposed Virginia Route 460 Connector and Route 614.
To give citizens more flexibility in hearing participation, there will be no formal presentation. Instead, citizens will be able to review maps, drawings and other materials explaining the proposed project and discuss the plans, tentative construction schedules, property impacts and relocation assistance with VDOT representatives.
Also, citizens will have an opportunity to record verbal comments for the official record anytime during the hearing. Written comments will be accepted during the hearing or may be submitted to VDOT by May 23.
For additional information, or if you require special assistance to participate in the meeting, please call the VDOT Lebanon Residency Office at 276/889-7600 or device for hearing impaired (TTY) at 711.
