The daytime closure (8 AM to 4:30 PM) of Tabor Street with detour continues Monday, March 31 through Friday, April 4. The road will be closed to through traffic but access to private property will be maintained from High Street during the closure. Complete closure of the road will speed up the proposed Tabor Street improvements and will result in a safer construction work zone.
If you have concerns or questions about the Crozet Streetscape, Albemarle County's Project Manager is Frank Pohl.
He will hold office hours Wednesdays from Noon to 1:00 PM at the Crozet Library
