Franklin County drivers should plan for a Route 693 closure beginning after the July Fourth weekend.
The county says a section of Green Level Road, Route 693, will close effective July 6, 2026, for a pipe replacement. The structure is located about 0.23 mile west of Dans Road and 0.90 mile east of Bethlehem Road.
Work is scheduled for completion by approximately July 17, 2026. Weather, crew schedules and field conditions can change roadwork timelines, so residents should check county or VDOT updates before relying on the route during the closure window.
- What to know: The notice identifies a road closure, not just lane restrictions.
- Who is affected: Green Level Road residents, rural Franklin County drivers, delivery routes, school and summer activity travel, and emergency-route planning.
- Driver action: Build in extra time and use posted detours or alternate roads once the closure begins.
GetStarNews will watch for any detour update or completion notice before the July 17 target date.
