WILLIAMSBURG — As the first phase of construction on Ironbound Road in Williamsburg and James City County nears completion, motorists should anticipate a new traffic pattern scheduled to begin the week of January 2, 2012, weather conditions permitting.

Crews will shift traffic onto the newly-constructed southbound lanes on the west side of Ironbound Road (Route 615) between Strawberry Plains Road (Route 616) and Longhill Connector Road (Route 612). The traffic shift will allow for work to start on the second phase of the project, which includes reconstruction of the northbound lanes on the east side of Ironbound Road.
