RICHMOND, Va. (WRIC) — The second phase of a project to bring several improvements to Jefferson Avenue in Richmond is slated to take place near the end of October.
The Department of Public Works will begin Phase II of the Jefferson Avenue Improvements Project on Monday, Oct. 21, with work to occur on the north side of Jefferson Avenue, from Leigh Street to 25th Street.
According to officials, some of the improvements in Phase II include:
