Roundabout Construction Updates

Update as of: August 11, 2026


VDOT's construction is underway on a new roundabout at the intersection of Wards Ferry Road, CVCC Campus Drive, and Harvard Street. The project is designed to improve traffic flow and safety for drivers and pedestrians in the area.

Construction is expected to be complete towards the end of 2027. CVCC will remain open throughout the project. Students, employees, and visitors should allow additional travel time and check this page for updates before traveling to campus.

Current Construction Update

Traffic is not currently affected during this phase of construction. Both campus entrances remain open, and normal traffic patterns remain in place. Drivers should continue to use caution when traveling near the construction area. Whenever possible, use the U.S. 29/Wards Road entrance to access campus and help reduce potential congestion.

CVCC will provide updates if there is an impact to the flow of traffic.

Traffic Patterns

Traffic patterns near the Wards Ferry Road entrance may change throughout construction. Drivers should: 

  • Follow all posted signs and directions from traffic-control personnel
  • Reduce speed when traveling through the construction area
  • Allot additional time when traveling to campus
  • Use an alternate route when recommended

CVCC will share advance notice of significant lane closures, detours, or entrance restrictions.

Campus Access

CVCC will remain accessible throughout construction. The campus can be accessed from:

  • Wards Ferry Road entrance
  • US 29 Business/Wards Road entrance

Parking

Campus parking lots will remain open and accessible during construction. Some parking areas or access routes may be temporarily affected as construction progresses. Any parking changes will be communicated in advance and posted on this page.
