STAUNTON, VA – An expansion and improvement project at a Park and Ride lot in Shenandoah County is set to begin the week of August 3. The facility is located on Route 629 (Oranda Road) near the junction of Interstate 81 and Route 11 (Old Valley Pike) at Strasburg. In June 2026 VDOT awarded a $1.65 million construction contract to Shirley Contracting Company LLC of Lorton, Va. The project is slated for completion in February 2027.

The new spaces will be built across Route 629 from the current facility and connected by a marked pedestrian crosswalk. The project will also include new lighting, improved drainage, and a full regrading and repaving of the original section of the lot.
