Route 8: VDOT is currently in the very preliminary planning and scoping stages for a safety project on Route 8 in Montgomery County which includes developing sites south of Riner to focus on shoulder and curve widening as well as sight distance and guardrail improvements. There is not a specified date for solicitating contractor bids or a construction start date. A separate project will develop a two-way left turn lane through the village of Riner from the northern most entrance of Auburn Middle School to Fairview Church Road /Union Valley Road. Construction is expected to start this fall and wrap up in 2028.
