Recently Completed: Route 17 Business and Route 1034 (Short Street)

This federal Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) project removed an existing traffic signal at the intersection of Route 17 Business and Short Street in Stafford County. A median was constructed to separate Route 17 Business northbound and southbound traffic from the Short Street intersection to 200 feet west of Route 1580 (Olde Forge Drive).

As a separate effort, a new traffic signal was installed at the intersection of Route 17 Business and Olde Forge Drive in 2020. This signal was installed by private development under permit.
