The Virginia Department of Transportation now says closure of Jarmans Gap Road in Crozet began Monday, following the completion of underground utility work that had caused several delays.

VDOT closed Jarmans Gap Road between Haden Lane and Blue Ridge Avenue Monday morning and began installation of a new box culvert in Powells Creek. The work is expected to take 45-60 days.

During the closure, motorists will be detoured from Jarmans Gap Road south on Crozet Avenue to Rockfish Gap Turnpike to Old Trail Drive and back to Jarmans Gap Road. School buses will use the same route.

More information about the project can be found on VDOT’s project website.
