U.S. Route 29

A Bright MLS economist says higher rates, not federal government cuts, are cooling the regional market.

A project to widen Route 29 near Centreville is nearly finished.

County and VDOT officials cut a ribbon last Thursday on the $94 million effort, which widened a mile and a half of the road from four lanes to six.

It also added shared use paths on both sides and noise barriers.

Broken down vehicle was adding to the heavy traffic.

It started in Alta Vista.

So this was something that was a local event, and it ended up spreading up and down Route 29.

Now it goes all the way from Amherst, so we're one end of the 100-mile yard sale, all the way down to Danville.

Oh,

So you will probably want to use an alternate around that.

Out in Route 422, we're following a crash eastbound just after Route 29 blocking a right lane.

Travel times Going up a little bit actually heavier on that westbound side, 20 minutes from Route 202 to Route 29, 15 minutes in that opposite direction.

We also have a vehicle fire in Lower Gwinnett on Sumneytown Pike at Wellington Drive.

Both sides of the roadway are pretty slow amidst that.

All right, what do you say we get another check on the roads right now?

And once again, here is Lugnuts Johnson.

Minor wreck going towards Columbia, southbound Route 29 at 108.

I just looked at the camera there.

I don't see any major backup, so it could be on the shoulder already.

I don't see any backups on the main line.

It even looks south of Franklin Boulevard, but it could be on the ramp.
