I agree that something must be done at this intersection. I have traveled this route from Rt. 6 to 151 across Afton twice a day for the past 17 years. My worry is how many crashes will there be here during construction especially caused by frustrated drivers? The construction of the 250/151 roundabout was bad enough, I can’t imagine what it would be like at the 6/151 intersection with no good route to bypass or avoid the area. I think a wonderful first step could be to ban 18 wheelers from using 151. I truly hope VDOT thinks about this.
Hallelujah! Couldn't happen fast enough. I drive through that intersection every day and always feel like I'm taking my life into my own hands trying to turn left on 151 from Rte 6. People barrel down the hill at >45mph and the visibility is next to zero.
That would be an important improvement for the safety of all. My daughter had a wreck in the intersection there due to the terrain and dangerous entry from Rt 6. John W

Thanks for the update.
