Board adopts VDOT secondary six-year road plan with 11 priorities including Atkins and Crowder roads
Summary
Cumberland supervisors approved the Virginia Department of Transportation’s (VDOT) proposed Secondary Six-Year Plan (2026–2031) and associated resolution, committing to a construction priority list that includes Route 701 (Atkins Road) and the addition of Crowder Road for 2031.
The Cumberland County Board of Supervisors approved the Virginia Department of Transportation’s Secondary Six-Year Plan (2026–2031) and the board’s adopting resolution during the June 10 meeting.
VDOT residency administrator Brian Locker and VDOT staff presented the recommended plan and construction priority list. Locker told the board the list reflects projects discussed at an April 8 workshop and recommended that the county keep previously approved secondary roads in the plan but add Crowder Road (Route 675) for 2031.
Locker then read priority projects in order and provided distances for each entry. Priority No. 1 is Route 701 (Atkins Road) from Route 45 to a dead end, distance 1 mile. Priority No. 2 is Route 692 (Briar Creek Road) from dead end to Route 676. Priority No. 3 is Route 720 (Randolph Terrace Road) from Route 753 to a dead end (0.25 miles). Additional priorities include Route 678 (Cotton Town Road, 0.5 miles), Route 688 (Garnet Road, 1.1 miles), Route 719 (Hobson Road, 0.32 miles), Route 647 (Brown Road, 2.5 miles), Route 672 (Sports Lake Road, 0.4 miles), Route 673 (Lagentown Road, 2.6 miles), Route 623 (Kawai Road, 1.95 miles) and Route 675 (Crowder Road, 1.7 miles) for 2031.
The board also recorded a resolution of adoption required by VDOT, which noted the board participated in a public hearing on the proposed plan and construction priority list and found the plan to be in the county’s interest. The board voted to approve the six-year plan and the resolution by a recorded roll-call vote, with supervisors voting in favor during the meeting.
VDOT staff said the surface treatment project will begin in July and that department crews have been doing pre-contract patching and other maintenance work associated with the upcoming projects. The county will coordinate with VDOT on project scheduling and public notices.
