YORK COUNTY — The Virginia Department of Transportation announced long-term single-lane closures will be implemented on Victory Boulevard for several weeks beginning as early as June 9 as part of its roadway widening project in York County.
According to VDOT, the left westbound travel lane on Victory Boulevard (Route 171) between Hampton Highway and George Washington Memorial Highway will be closed to allow for construction work in the median. Of the two existing westbound left-turn lanes from Victory Boulevard to George Washington Memorial Highway, the inside left-turn lane will also temporarily close. The outside left turn lane will remain open to traffic.
VDOT estimates both closures will be in place through early July. All work is weather- and schedule-dependent and subject to change.
Additional temporary eastbound single-lane closures will also be implemented as needed on Victory Boulevard between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. and 8 p.m. to 6 a.m., VDOT said.
Construction began in March 2025 on the $4.6 million Victory Boulevard Widening Project, which is designed to increase vehicle capacity and help alleviate congestion through roadway widening and turn-lane improvements on Victory Boulevard between George Washington Memorial Highway and Hampton Highway.
