The Department of Public Works is responsible for developing, improving and maintaining, an efficient and safe transportation and drainage network for Henrico County. The Department of Public Works is divided into 8 Divisions: Administration, Construction, Design, Environmental Services, Real Property, Road Maintenance, Transportation Development, and Traffic Engineering . These divisions ensure that all engineering, construction and maintenance work for roads, drainage, transit service, and erosion control follow the acceptable standards achievable with the efficient use of capital expenditures to provide the residents of Henrico County the ability to travel throughout the County in a safe manner and with minimum congestion. We strive to provide each resident with the informative and factual response to any inquiry in a timely manner.
