Downtown Lynchburg to return to two-way traffic
LYNCHBURG, Va. – Heads up drivers: Some big changes will be happening in Downtown Lynchburg over the next several months.
Two-way traffic will be returning to Main St. and Church St. for the first time in decades in accordance with the 2040 Downtown Master Plan adopted by Lynchburg City Council on Nov. 13, 2018.
The transition from the current one-way streets to two-way streets will occur in three phases in order to mesh with the current Main St. Renewal Project.
The purpose for restoring two-way traffic is multifaceted; however, the all-encompassing factor is to create a downtown environment that is more comfortable for pedestrians.
