Section of Capital Trail Closed for Repairing Train Derailment Damage
A small section of the Virginia Capital Trail remains closed between Great Shiplock Park and the Floodwall after the July train derailment. The City of Richmond Department of Public Works (DPW) has taken over the repair project and is working on a solution to complete the restoration. According to DPW, damage to the canopy foundations requires additional engineering and redesign before repair work can move forward.

Gas line replacement will slow traffic on busy Hopewell street
Starting this month, drivers in Hopewell should expect delays along parts of South 15th Avenue near Cavalier Square shopping center while gas-line infrastructure is being replaced. An announcement Sept. 14 from Columbia Gas of Virginia said the upgrades were necessary to “ensure the continued delivery of safe, reliable and efficient natural gas in the area for years to come.” Underground lines will be replaced along South 15th Avenue around Palm Street, Spruce Street and Arlington Road, all in the Cavalier Square vicinity. The project begins in mid-September and will run through mid-November, the gas company said. Most of the work will take place from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., but chances of that work running into the nighttime hours do exist. Part of that project includes temporary hard-surface patching on public and private property throughout that area. Columbia Gas said those patches will be permanently restored once the replacements are done. Motorists are urged to “expect the unexpected” during the work, Columbia Gas said. Speed limits will be reduced through the work zone, and traffic flow may be impeded from time to time depending upon the work being done. The stretch of 15th Avenue being affected is one of the

Short Pump traffic relief moves closer with new I-64 exit
A new I-64 exit at North Gayton Road has finally secured the funding needed to build it. Why it matters: Short Pump drivers could have some long-awaited traffic relief on the way, taking pressure off the notoriously congested West Broad Street interchange — a hellscape during rush hour. The big picture: The $157 million project is now fully funded, according to VDOT's latest plan . That includes $63 million from the Central Virginia Transportation Authority, which recently approved $709,000 to begin surveying the site this fall. The West Broad Street exit currently funnels drivers headed toward Short Pump Town Center and Innsbrook. The new one will briefly shift traffic to the left side of the road, making it easier to get on and off I-64 without crossing oncoming traffic. Yes, but: Construction isn't expected to start until spring 2028 and wrap up until winter 2031. So Short Pump commuters still have a few more years of suffering left to go.
