It's VDOT Day on The Valley Today, and Ken Slack, communications specialist for VDOT's Staunton District, is back with a full slate of road project updates for the Northern Shenandoah Valley. From the widening of I-81 at Strasburg to a soon-to-triple-in-size park and ride, this episode covers a lot of ground — literally.

Janet and Ken dig into the I-81/Strasburg bridge work, the Oranda Park & Ride expansion, the Redbud Road relocation that kicks off years of major work in Winchester (including a new diverging diamond interchange at Exit 317), the Millwood Pike bridge replacement, and a heartfelt reminder about slowing down and staying alert in work zones. If you drive anywhere in the Valley, this one's worth a listen.
