Derbyshire Rd Pedestrian and Roadway Improvements

The Henrico County Department of Public Works is constructing a roundabout with pedestrian crossings and pedestrian lights on Derbyshire Road at its intersection with Heathfield Road and Lakewater Drive. This is expected to be completed by late summer.

The roundabout is part of a larger project to enhance safety, access, and connectivity in the area. The other potential improvements remain under design and include a paved shared-use path on the north side of Derbyshire, additional pedestrian crossings, modifications to the sharp curve near Gunby Dr, and addition of a left turn lane at N Mooreland Rd. Public Works held a community meeting in March to discuss the potential improvements and received overall positive feedback from residents. Additional meetings will be held as the design of other portions of the project proceeds.

• Due to resident concerns with speeding and cut-through traffic, county officials are moving now to complete the roundabout in the existing right-of-way. This will help reduce speeds on Derbyshire, enhance traffic safety and improve accessibility for pedestrians.

Please continue to check back for updates as design and improvements progress.
