Hayfield and Telegraph
The Virginia Department of Transportation is seeking public feedback on potential improvements in the area of Telegraph Road (Route 611) and Hayfield Road (Route 635). At the intersection, Telegraph Road averages about 20,000 vehicles a day and Hayfield Road averages about 7,900
Residents, travelers, pedestrians and bicyclists are asked to take an online survey virginiadot.org/TelegraphatHayfield presenting several design alternatives, including the three congestion-related alternatives previously presented at the January 2022 virtual public information meeting, plus two designs that focus on pedestrian improvements with no road widening.
* Baseline concept: Adding a northbound auxiliary through lane on Telegraph Road through the Hayfield Road intersection and upgrading curb ramps on the east side of Telegraph Road
* Widening to east concept: Adding a northbound auxiliary through lane on Telegraph Road through the Hayfield Road intersection, and upgrading curb ramps and providing an eight-foot-wide sidewalk on the east side of Telegraph Road
* Widening to west concept: Adding a northbound auxiliary through lane on Telegraph Road through the Hayfield Road intersection, reducing crosswalk lengths, upgrading curb ramps, and providing an eight-foot-wide sidewalk on the east side of Telegraph Road and a six-foot-wide sidewalk on the west side
The survey also features two new alternatives that focus specifically on pedestrian improvements with no roadway widening:
* Reducing crosswalk lengths and upgrading curb ramps at the Telegraph Road/Hayfield Road intersection
* Reducing crosswalk lengths, upgrading curb ramps, and providing a six-foot-wide sidewalk on the west side and an eight-foot-wide sidewalk on the east side of Telegraph Road
Lastly, residents and travelers can provide feedback on a no-build alternative in which no improvements would be made in the area of Telegraph Road and Hayfield Road.
The survey will be available through Monday, Feb. 13.
