Traffic Alert: January 2026 Williamson Road Southbound Roadwork

Road Notices Posted on January 05, 2026

Roanoke County - Weather permitting, starting in early January, drivers on a section of Route 11 (Williamson Road) in Roanoke County can expect a long-term traffic shift as part of a project to construct a new sidewalk. 

The southbound lane of Williamson Road will be closed between Route 1821 (Greenway Drive) and Route 836 (Plymouth Drive). Drivers will use the center turn lane to drive south on Williamson Road during construction. 

As part of the project, a 200 foot section of Plymouth Drive near its intersection with Williamson Road will be closed for approximately two weeks this spring. Drivers will need to use alternate routes during this closure.  

Electronic message boards and signs will be in place to alert drivers to the upcoming changes in traffic pattern. Message boards will be updated with the most current schedule.  

The shift will be in place until the project is completed in spring 2026.
