Derbyshire Rd Pedestrian and Roadway Improvements

Project Status: Underway - Design

Estimated Cost: 5.3 million
Start Date: Previous work 2024 - Proposed sidewalk project 2027
Estimated End Date: 2027

Magisterial District: Tuckahoe

The Henrico County Department of Public Works constructed a roundabout with pedestrian crossings and pedestrian lights on Derbyshire Road at its intersection with Heathfield Road and Lakewater Drive. Due to resident concerns with speeding and cut-through traffic, the roundabout was constructed in the existing right-of-way.

The roundabout is part of a larger project to enhance safety, access, and connectivity in the area. Other potential improvements remain under design and include:

A paved shared-use path on the north side of Derbyshire.
Additional pedestrian crossings.
Addition of a left turn lane at N Mooreland Rd.

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

Estimated Schedule:

Study began in May 2023.
Study is complete.
Construction for the Derbyshire Roundabout is complete.
Design is underway for additional improvements .
Construction for additional improvements is anticipated in 2027.

Progress to Date

NOTE: Community meetings regarding the potential improvements were held on Monday, March 11, 2024, at Maybeury Elementary School at 5pm and Monday, September 29, 2025 at 5 PM. The County received overall positive feedback from residents. Additional meetings will be held as the design of other portions of the project proceeds. County is currently looking at design alternatives to minimize right of way impacts to adjacent properties along this corridor.
