Board members said they attended a VDOT public meeting on the I-81 corridor and encouraged residents to comment on the department’s project list for the region. A supervisor asked VDOT to continue reviewing Route 77 north and tunnel bottlenecks that feed into I-81 during the travel season.
Separately, the board received paving bids and accepted the low bid from J & M Paving and Sealing for a paving project (project number referenced in the packet). Staff said J & M had performed previous local work and recommended awarding the contract to that vendor; the board approved the bid.
Board members urged residents to use VDOT’s online survey and comment process for I-81, noting the agency has identified areas with high crash rates and is prioritizing projects across several counties.
