If you’ve been to the Hilltop area of Virginia Beach in the last several years, you’ve likely seen the hundreds of traffic cones and construction signs around Laskin Road.
Over the last few years, the construction on Laskin Road has been delayed due to some problems crews have been facing.
At the same time, drivers say the ongoing construction is frustrating.
Dolly Lashley said she and other people on the road have tried to be patient with the road work on Laskin Road, but it’s impacted her commute to work and the condition of her car.
“It’s annoying because the road that leads directly to my house is one of the roads that they’re working on and it’s not leveled at all. So it’s kinda rigidity when I’m driving and I hate it,” said Lashley.
In 2019, the $83.2 million project was designed to improve capacity and safety by widening and improving Laskin Road and First Colonial Road. Feeder lanes that ran parallel to Laskin would be removed and the bridge over Linkhorn Bay would be replaced.
