Birmingham Lane seven-week closure at Rolling Road in West Springfield begins Sept. 2
WEST SPRINGFIELD – Beginning at 9 a.m. Wednesday, Sept. 2, Birmingham Lane (Route 4153) will be closed to through traffic between Rolling Road (Route 638) and Ontario Street (Route 4152) for approximately seven weeks due to work at the Rolling Road/Birmingham Lane intersection as part of the Rolling Road widening project, according to the Virginia Department of Transportation.
Those needing to reach properties along Birmingham Lane will still have access; however, they will not be able to access Birmingham Lane directly from Rolling Road and vice versa.
Through traffic will be detoured via Rolling Road, Springfield Valley Drive (Route 4151), and Ontario Street back to Birmingham Lane. Drivers are asked to follow posted detour signs.
The Rolling Road/Birmingham Lane intersection is expected to reopen to traffic by late October.
The Rolling Road widening project is:
- Widening about a mile and a half of Rolling Road from two lanes to four with a raised median, shared-use path and sidewalk between Viola Street and Kenwood Avenue.
- Constructing a new traffic signal at Rolling Road and Greeley Boulevard.
- Upgrading the traffic signal at Rolling Road and Barnack Drive.
- Making access management and stormwater improvements.
The project is scheduled for completion in late 2027.
Drivers, bicyclists and pedestrians are reminded to use caution when traveling in active work zones. Be alert to new traffic patterns and limit distractions.
