SPERRYVILLE residents made it clear to representatives of the Highway Department that they want “an improved two-lane road, not an expressway” when work on Route 211 through the village is completed.
The Highway Department hosted a second public hearing last Wednesday on the location and design of “improvements” to Route 211 from the end of the Washington bypass to Shenandoah National Park. Route 211 is considered “an arterial route” by the Highway .Department and as such is “conceived to supplement the Interstate Highway System.” The Highway Department’s policy is to make each arterial highway in Virginia a four-lane divided facility.
