Prince George roundabout project starts with detours

Work has begun on a long-awaited traffic roundabout on a main Prince George County road, and that means long-term detours will be in place. In an announcement Nov. 6, the project is expected to be completed by the summer of 2027. The roundabout "will improve safety and operations at the intersection," VDOT said. Motorists heading to and from Hopewell and the Prince George courthouse area are being directed to use state Route 156, also known as Prince George Drive, and state Route 106, Courthouse Road. Trucks and other large commercial vehicles will be directed to use Courthouse Road, state Route 36 and state Route 10 to get around the construction area. VDOT describes the roundabout as a single-lane circular project with drainage and lighting improvements. Similar roundabouts exist at the intersection of Jefferson Park, Allin and Bull Hill roads near the Fort Lee back gate, and at the intersection of Allin and Courthouse roads. A roundabout in the shape of a dog bone was recently completed at the intersection of Courthouse and Bull Hill roads. For questions about the roundabout project or to report hazardous road conditions, contact VDOT’s 24-hour Customer Service Center my.vdot.virginia.gov or by calling 800-FOR-ROAD ( 367-7623

Petersburg Ward 7 race separated by 5 votes, recount possible

By Nov. 10, we should know one of two things about he outcome of Petersburg's Ward 7 city council election − who won or if there will be a recount to finalize it. Only five votes separated challenger Herbert Coulton Jr. and incumbent Arnold Westbrook Jr. after the ballots were tallied Tuesday, Nov. 3. However, there remains unfinished business in the counting, and how that turns out could mean the difference between a victor being named and a recount. "This is a fluidly changing environment as the process continues to unfold," Petersburg Registrar Dawn Wilmoth told The Progress-Index. "Election Day's end is just the 'born date' much like a starting point of results reporting. We have the early vote total, the absentees total received by Election Day total and the actual Election Day poll total all entered." Noon on Friday, Nov. 6 was the postmark deadline for absentee ballots to be back at the registrar's office to be included in the count.. Wilmoth said only three of the 63 absentees ballots still out for Ward 7 have been returned. The absentees returned by the noon deadline will be counted. Also, there are a total of 24 provisional ballots − ones

Kimberly Pope Adams seeks re-election in 82nd District

Fresh off the 2026 local and midterm elections, Democratic Del. Kimberly Pope Adams announced her intent to seek re-election to the Virginia House of Delegates in November 2027. In a statement released Nov. 4, Pope Adams said she was seeking a second two-year term because "there's still much more to do" for the 82nd House District beyond 2027. “Our district is home to hardworking families, farmers, small business owners, and communities with tremendous potential,” Pope Adams said in a statement annoucing her intent. “Whether it’s keeping a family farm operating, funding our classrooms, repairing a bridge, or bringing broadband to a rural home, these are real challenges that require more than promises. They require persistence and results.” The 43-year-old Hopewell native and Dinwiddie County resident is so far the only Democrat to announce for the seat, and she is not expected to face opposition for the nomination. Republicans have yet to announce who they will back next year. Pope Adams has faced former Del. Kim Taylor of Dinwiddie County in the past two election cycles. In 2023, Taylor defeated Pope Adams in a tight race that was decided by a recount. Pope Adams came back in 2053 to defeat Taylor
