VDOT installing stop at county intersection

Safety concerns are spurring the Virginia Department of Transportation to establish a new four-way stop at the intersection of Route 676, Route 660 and Route 1040 in Albemarle County.

Road crews plan to carry out the change Monday, weather permitting. The insection has stop signs for traffic approaching on Route 660 — Reas Ford Road — and Route 1040 — Dunromin Road — but not on Route 676, Woodlands Road.

Stop bars and “stop ahead” pavement markings will be added to the intersection as well.
