Summary
The Charlotte County Board adopted the VDOT six-year secondary road plan including a 1.3-mile Chandler's Fork segment with $281,000 dedicated and Elam Road advanced earlier in the sequence.
Charlotte County supervisors voted to adopt the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) six-year secondary road plan presented at the June meeting.
VDOT staff reported the board’s prioritized projects, including Route 619 Chandler's Fork Road from Route 645 to Ward's Fork Creek — a 1.3-mile segment with $281,000 allocated for the project. The report also listed a series of secondary roads on the county plan, including Elam Road (Route 744) from the Mecklenburg County line to Route 603 (0.7 miles) and several shorter sections (Route 802 Horsepin Creek Road, Route 745 Forest Trail Road, Route 777 Candy Road, Route 779 Jacksonville Road, Route 830 Datt Road, Route 706 Alberts Road, and Route 766 Fernando Road) with lengths and approximate locations provided by staff.
Staff explained that Double Bridges Road (Route 619) was constructed last summer using two years of VDOT allocations and that VDOT code allows the use of two years of allocations in special circumstances. Because of that, construction paused this season while accounts are reconciled prior to closing the project after July 1.
After the staff report, the board held a public hearing with no speakers signed up and then approved a motion to adopt the six-year plan as presented. The board directed the county administrator to sign the plan copy and the county will receive a resolution to file with VDOT.
