Open to Limited Two-Way Traffic Starting March 30
CURRENT STATUS OF ROUTE 9
IN HILLSBORO
ReThink9 Progress
THANK YOU!
Thank you for your continued patience and cooperation during ReThink9, the Town of Hillsboro’s Traffic Calming, Pedestrian Safety and Infrastructure Improvement Project.
PROJECT UPDATE
Route 9 in the Hillsboro work zone reopened ahead of schedule to limited two-way traffic and unlimited weekend two-way traffic on March 30 as the final utility phase of the project was begun by Dominion and Verizon. The planned 30-day full springtime closure was eliminated.
The removal of overhead utility cables and utility poles by Verizon is now anticipated to occur over the next few weeks. Upon the completion of the removal of all overhead utilities and assurance of safety for motorists, it is expected that unlimited two-way traffic will resume on schedule in May.
