Hopewell roads closed while Virginia American Water repairs valve
A valve repair will cause the intersection of Randolph Road and Main Street in Hopewell to be closed to eastbound traffic beginning at 7 p.m. July 30. Virginia American Water's media release states it will last until approximately noon July 31. All westbound lanes will remain open for traffic. “Due to the complexity of the valve repair and its location, we need to redirect traffic to perform this important work,” Bridget Adams, Field Operations supervisor at Virginia American Water, said. “We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your patience and understanding as our crews complete this repair.” Weather permitting, the lanes will be closed until the project is complete, and the eastbound traffic will be detoured around the construction site. Signs will redirect traffic down 6th Street to Winston Churchill Drive. Drivers are asked to stay alert for signs and barricades redirecting traffic and to use extra caution when driving through work zones. Customers in the immediate area may experience low pressure and should monitor the active alerts page, under the alerts tab, at virginiaamwater.com .

Look Before You Board: Green & Blue Buses Running Local/Express Routes
As GRTC transitions the Pulse Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) fleet to 60-foot articulated buses, riders will begin seeing the standard-sized blue and green buses serving local and express routes throughout the region. These buses still have years of useful service life remaining and, rather than retiring them early, GRTC is putting them to work where they’re needed most. Repurposing these vehicles helps reduce waste and supports transit sustainability.
