N24_2026 3 lane road widening n/b & s/b

The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) has issued a state and local contract opportunity for a road widening project in Hanover County, designated as N24_2026. The procurement focuses on expanding a roadway section from Mile Marker 242.0 to Mile Marker 248.8, with specific requirements for three-lane road widening in both northbound and southbound directions. Prequalification is mandatory for potential contractors, indicating a complex infrastructure project with specific technical and organizational requirements. All questions and communications must be submitted through VDOT's Contractors Advertisement Bulletin Board (CABB), which serves as the official communication channel for this procurement. The solicitation was posted on October 15, 2025, with proposals due by December 17, 2025, providing approximately two months for interested contractors to prepare and submit their detailed responses.

While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly stated in the provided documentation, VDOT procurements typically adhere to Virginia's guidelines for small, minority-owned, and disadvantaged business participation. The project's scope suggests significant infrastructure investment, though the exact award value is not specified in the current information. Potential bidders should anticipate a substantial capital investment given the extensive road widening requirements spanning approximately 6.8 miles. Contractors interested in this opportunity must demonstrate robust capabilities in road construction, engineering expertise, and compliance with Virginia's transportation infrastructure standards. Given the prequalification requirement, firms will likely need to provide comprehensive documentation of past performance, financial stability, and technical competence in large-scale road improvement projects.
