It's one of the area's busiest roads.
In fact, 26-thousand motorists travel Route 220 each day from Roanoke to Henry County.
As a result, V-Dot says there needs to be changes. [***ROUTE 220 IN MONITOR***]

Like Lloyd, you may be happy to hear about the safety improvements V-Dot plans to make from Roanoke to the North Carolina border.
They include upgrading guardrails, installing permanent message signs, adding more turning lanes, and upgrading or closing median crossovers.

V-Dot plans to add or extend turn lanes at 18 crossovers on Route 220.
The state will also close 23 crossovers.
The improvements will cost more than 3 million dollars with an additional 4 1/2 million to be spent in the future.

More and more people are dying from prescrption drug overdoses- especially in Southwest Virginia.
A new state study shows the death rate jumped dramatically in the past decade- far exceeding death rates in the rest of the state.

The study says the number of drug fatalities grew from 66 in 1993 to 217 in 2003.
Prescription drugs were involved in 211 of those deaths.
Nearly 80 percent were accidental overdoses.
The study finds the majority of those deaths were caused by methadone- a synthetic narcotic developed as an alternative to morphine- and used for chronic pain.
