Board approves coal-road advisory routes for VDOT projects; chair urges prompt spending
Summary
Supervisors approved routes for coal-severance road-improvement projects and asked the county severance committee to proceed, with board members urging prompt use of available funds.
The board approved the Russell County Coal Road Improvement Advisory Committee’s recommended VDOT routes for coal-severance-funded projects and authorized staff to proceed contingent on committee approval.
Supervisor Andrew Hensley and other board members said residents expect road repairs and urged timely expenditure of severance funds. The routes named in the package include segments on Route 71, 615, 667, 648, 634 and 611; supervisors said they will work with VDOT and the co-severance committee to prioritize repairs.
Administrators and supervisors noted limited remaining severance funds and directed staff to continue outreach so roads prioritized by constituents receive attention in the current funding cycle.
