In Design: Intersection of Route 11 and W. Monroe Street in Wytheville

The primary purpose of this project is to improve safety at the intersection of Route 11 and W. Monroe Street, located near the Food City and the Italian Garden in Wytheville.  

The project includes improving alignment on W. Monroe between the Italian Garden and Food City. Two new left turn lanes will be designated with pavement markings on Route 11 for W. Monroe Street in both directions. Additionally, to enhance safety a concrete raised island will be added adjacent to the left turn onto W. Monroe Street beside Food City, limiting traffic exiting Food City nearest to W. Monroe Street from Route 11 to turn right only. 

Access to Italian Garden would be from W. Monroe Street only, closing the current entrance from Route 11.

ADA compliant sidewalks will be installed along W. Monroe Street and Route 11 within the project limits for pedestrian accommodations.

Approximately 7,558 vehicles per day use this section of Route 11. 

Benefits 

The project will enhance safety by realigning W. Monroe Street at its intersection with Route 11.
