The intersection of Route 639 (Ladysmith Road) and Route 738 (Partlow Road/Anderson Mill Road) in the Chilesburg area of Caroline County was reconstructed as part of a safety improvement project.
The $1.6 million project improved sight distance and realigned and flattened a curve at the intersection. Dedicated right turn lanes were added from westbound Ladysmith Road to Partlow Road, and from southbound Partlow Road to Anderson Mill Road. A stop sign was added to control southbound Partlow Road traffic.
The project contractor was J.L. Kent and Sons, Inc.
Caroline County submitted an application to build this project through Virginia’s SMART SCALE transportation funding program.
