The original plan when this section was let as a standard VDOT project in 1999, was to first build the collecter-distributor (C-D) roadways on VA-288 to serve the VA-76 interchange. These C-D roadways are each over a mile long, and each is a 2-lane freeway standard roadway, and all the ramps with VA-76 intersect the C-D roadways, and 3 of the 4 Lucks Lane ramps intersect the C-D roadways. The C-D roadways would seamlessly connect with the permanent mainline roadways to the south and north of there.  Mainline 2-lane roadways, one each way, would be constructed in the future in the median between the C-D roadways, relegating the C-D roadways to their true C-D purposes. Construction began in spring 1999 on the 2-mile-long section of VA-288 between VA-76 Powhite Parkway and Charter Colony Parkway in Chesterfield County. When the PPTA $236 million agreement was finalized in May 2001 to complete the remaining 11 miles of the 17.5-mile-long western section of VA-288 to full 4-lane freeway standards, the PPTA project also included building the aforementioned mainline VA-288 roadways between the C-D roadways in the VA-76 and Lucks Lane interchange area. Those mainline roadways are being built now with continuously reinforced concrete paving about to start, and this construction will complete the ultimate design of the interchange between VA-288, VA-76 and Lucks Lane. That construction, and all VA-288 construction, is scheduled to be completed by October 2003.
