Widening Valley Pike Nearing Completion and Relocation Plans
The Valley pike widening near Harrisonburg progresses with the Melrose convict camp moving to Riven Rock to build a seven mile rerouted section from Rawley Springs to the Shenandoah foot. Federal funding excludes convict labor on that mountain highway project. Private crews advance the Court Manor Kilmer link, reducing danger on Liskey hill and Dry Fork route. Highway engineers say this stretch may be the last widened section between Harrisonburg and Winchester. a Shenandoah River bridge north of Mount Jackson was temporarily closed after heavy rain but quickly repaired.
