Northumberland County officials are revisiting safety concerns at the intersection of Academic Lane and Northumberland Highway. It comes after some county leaders say the area has grown increasingly dangerous for students, parents, and law enforcement. At a recent Board of Supervisors meeting, VDOT was asked to review the possibility of adding a stoplight. The intersection has been under scrutiny for months, and board members are pushing for improvements to prevent accidents. VDOT has not yet announced a timeline for any changes.
