Plans advancing for proposed North Gayton Road-I-64 interchange project in Henrico’s Far West End
Henrico County’s plan to improve the traffic pattern in Short Pump received support from the Virginia Department of Transportation and is a step closer to breaking ground, though funding hurdles remain.
