The VDOT plan to extend the Powhite Parkway westward to Woolridge Road will cut off direct access to Route 76 from Brandermill Parkway. Brandermill residents and others will have to access the Powhite Parkway from its new intersection at Charter Colony Parkway.
That VDOT plan is in the initial stage of development to extend the Powhite Parkway without tolls, looping around to Route 360 further west near Grange Hall Elementary School. Members of the Chesterfield Department of Transportation (CDOT) explained the plan. The goal, reported CDOT Director Chessa Walker and Senior Engineer Bill Arel, was to relieve the traffic congestion in the Route 360 corridor, particularly during rush hours entering and exiting Route 288.
