Update reflects delay
However, the 1989 update of the six-year plan calls for right-of-way acquisition to start this July and possibly extend through next spring, according to VDOT spokesman Frank Edens.

Mr. Edens added that once the Commonwealth Transportation Board approved the location and design in October of 1988 the plans were “locked in" and couldn't be changed.
