President Signs Into Law Spanberger Legislation to Provide $4 Million for Oilville Road-I-64 Interchange Project in Goochland County

 President Joe Biden yesterday signed into law U.S. Representative Abigail Spanberger’s legislation that will provide $4,000,000 for Goochland County to make much-needed improvements at the Oilville Road-I-64 interchange.

The major funding for Goochland County — which Spanberger successfully secured as part of the U.S. House and U.S. Senate-passed fiscal year (FY) 2023 end-of-year government funding package — will help build a four-way roundabout that would alleviate a major traffic blockage on I-64 that creates a safety threat to both exiting traffic and through traffic on the Interstate. The proposed roundabout would allow commuters to flow seamlessly from I-64 onto Oilville Road — benefiting an estimated 10,000 to 15,000 commuters daily.

“Investments in our physical infrastructure are smart investments in the people who live in our communities — and who drive on our roads and deserve to be safe as they travel around our Commonwealth. Goochland County’s officials understand the importance of these investments, and I am grateful for the leaders who worked closely with my office to successfully secure this major investment,” said Spanberger. “Now, federal funding is headed to the county to rebuild our aging roadways, reduce congestion, and increase driver safety at the I-64 and Oilville Road interchange.”
