Initially, company leaders had concerns about traffic in the Innsbrook area, but, after learning about the various public works projects occurring in and around the area, these congestion fears were allayed. Chandler explained, “While the campus is easily accessible by major thoroughfares, we were concerned about traffic congestion in the area. However…we learned that Henrico County has already approved five different improvement projects.” These traffic improvement projects include widening Nuckols Road by the I-295 exit, which will significantly ease traffic congestion around the Innsbrook area.
