Buckingham advances six‑year road‑surfacing plan; Firehouse Road scheduled first for FY25
Summary
County staff reviewed the six‑year plan for converting gravel roads to hard surface, listed candidate roads and funding assumptions, and asked supervisors for priorities ahead of a public hearing planned for May.
Buckingham County staff presented the county's six‑year plan for converting gravel roads to hard surface and said Firehouse Road (Route 655 to the dead end, 1.1 miles) is the first project scheduled for this fiscal year.
The countywide plan, which runs from fiscal 2025 through fiscal 2030, reflects work already completed on the first four roads — Blackwell Road, Wyland Road, Mill Road and Warren Ferry Road — and a programming placeholder of $394,000 in the furthest out year. County staff said they have been estimating roughly $200,000 per mile as the construction cost for budgeting purposes, meaning about two miles can be added with the current out‑year allocation.
