D.H., Roanoke County A: Colonial Avenue will be closed starting Wednesday between Penn Forest Boulevard and Hazel Drive for safety improvements. This means Colonial won't be open for the shortcut between U.S. 221 and Virginia 419 this summer. Residents of Hazel can use Vest Drive to reach Colonial and 419. Other people in the neighborhood can get around the work site too: Penn Forest Boulevard traffic will continue to use Colonial to reach 419 at North Cross School, and Merriman Road traffic can use Colonial to reach 221. Construction will remove the crest of a hill to improve sight distance approaching the intersections with Penn Forest Boulevard and Hazel. The road will be widened slightly so there will be two 11-foot lanes with 6-foot shoulders. The work is due for completion by Aug. 30, before schools open, said Scott Hodge of the Virginia Department of Transportation. Have a question about something that might affect other people, too?
