LYNCHBURG, Va. (WSET) -- Big traffic changes are coming to Liberty University by way of a new exit and entrance ramp. <\/p>\n
They're calling the project the \"Liberty Mountain Drive 460 Connection\" because it will do just that - to the tune of $5 million. <\/p>\n
The Campbell County Board of Supervisors approved the project Tuesday night. Liberty will be splitting the cost with VDOT, absorbing what the community would normally pay for. <\/p>\n
The hope is that the ramp will help alleviate traffic around Candler's Mountain, which LU's planning coordinator says is a win for everyone. <\/p>\n
\"The need has been here for many years since the college started to bloom in the late 80s, there was a number of traffic issues,\" said Brad Butler. \"But it's not just movement on and off campus, it's local traffic coming through the community.\" <\/p>\n
The next step is to start advertising bids for construction. <\/p>\n
Butler says they aim to have construction start later this year; and they hope to have it completed by winter of 2019. <\/p>\n
