Oriana and Warwick Are Getting a 2026 Makeover

A new median, safer crossings, and a $994,342 project headed for early next year

The city’s Department of Engineering plans to update the intersection of Oriana Road and Warwick Boulevard in early 2026, and the layout will shift more than a little. A new median will remove the east and west cut-through, so drivers on Oriana will have to turn right onto Warwick. Pedestrian pushbuttons are part of the project, giving people on foot a safer shot at crossing.

 

The work carries a $994,342 price tag, fully funded by a VDOT grant. Curtis Contracting won the job and expects construction to take about six months. Portions of Oriana may detour during the project, so expect a few twists once the crews get moving.
