Coming Soon: Broadview Avenue, Town of Warrenton

The Town of Warrenton and VDOT propose several roadway improvements along the heavily traveled Broadview Avenue. 

The proposed project will improve Broadview Avenue from Frost Avenue to 0.81-mile north.

The improvements include:

• Reconstruction of the intersection of Frost Avenue (U.S. 211) and Broadview Avenue
• Traffic signal modifications
• Installation of short medians to improve safety and manage access
• Crosswalk and sidewalk upgrades
• 5-foot bike lanes on both sides of the road

For well over a decade, the Town has planned transportation improvements to Broadview Avenue to make it safer for all modes of travel, less congested, more attractive as a commercial corridor and accessible to business customers.

Broadview Avenue is a vitally important commercial district for the Town, with many businesses that have thrived for generations.

Upon completion of the project, the Town envisions a safer, more attractive destination for shopping, dining and purchasing services.

Right of way acquisition began in February 2022 and was completed in May 2023. Construction is scheduled to start in early 2024.
