FREDERICKSBURG – The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT), in partnership with King William County and the Town of West Point, will hold a public meeting from 5-7 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 15, to share potential improvements recommended by a transportation study of Route 30 (King William Avenue).
The study evaluated safety for motorists, bicyclists, and pedestrians along Route 30 between Mount Olive Cohoke Road and Route 33, as well as traffic congestion and access management. This study is part of VDOT’s Strategically Targeted and Affordable Roadway Solutions (STARS) program.
Public comment was sought at the beginning of the Route 30 study in spring 2025 to learn more about traveler experiences. The purpose of this study is to develop concepts for future potential project funding applications. Draft recommendations are being presented for public comment before the study report is finalized. The study does not propose construction timelines for any future potential improvements.
An in-person public information meeting will be held:
*Wednesday, Oct. 15, 2025
5 – 7 p.m.
West Point Branch Library
433 12th Street
West Point, VA 23181
*In the event of inclement weather, the meeting will be held on Monday, Dec. 1, 2025, at the same time and location.
The meeting will be held in an open-house format. Staff will be available to answer questions.
A survey will be posted on the study project page the day of the meeting: https://vdot.virginia.gov/Route30Study
The online survey will be open to accept comments through Oct. 31, 2025.
Through the STARS program, VDOT planners and engineers work with local planners and stakeholders to address critical safety and traffic congestion challenges at key locations throughout Virginia.
For individuals who prefer to share comments in writing or by email, comments may be sent to Casandra Lord, VDOT Study Manager, 87 Deacon Road, Fredericksburg, VA 22405, or emailed to [email protected]. Please reference “Route 30 Study” in the email subject line.
