1990 Bikeway/Walkway Plan
Yellow Sulphur Route
ROUTE NAME: Yellow Sulphur Route
PRIORITY: Medium
DESIGNATION: Paved Lanes
DESCRIPTION: Yellow Sulphur
road (St Rte 643) beginning one mile north of the corporate limits of the town
of Christiansburg to the intersection with Jenelle Road (St Rte 642).
FUNDING SOURCE: Road is
scheduled to be widened and improved by the Virginia Department of Transportation
in November 1996. State will fund 50% of the cost if done when road improvements
occur.
TRAFFIC COUNTS: 145 average
daily traffic (1987 figures).
JUSTIFICATION: This road
serves a growing area of Montgomery County. It is also a direct link between
the towns of Blacksburg and Christiansburg. Yellow Sulphur Road is a winding,
curvy road which is not safe for bikers or walkers without lanes. Improvements
to this road will greatly increase traffic, making lanes even more necessary.
