Loading...
Summary
County supervisors voted to adopt the Virginia Department of Transportation—s six-year secondary construction program after a VDOT presentation listing completed and upcoming paving projects and a schedule of prioritized roads through 2029; VDOT said Scott County typically receives about $1 million annually and identified ~255 miles of unpaved roads.
A VDOT representative presented the county—s annual update to its six-year secondary road construction program and the Scott County Board of Supervisors voted to adopt the plan.
The VDOT presenter said Scott County typically receives roughly $1 million a year in secondary-road funding and that the county has about 255 miles of unpaved roads. He listed recent and upcoming paving projects: a completed segment of Beeline Road (Route 753) awaiting financial closure; Greens Chapel (Route 657) and Gillen Water Chapel (Route 681) scheduled for paving in the coming weeks; the Hot Knob capital improvements (federal land project); Angad Cooper Road (Route 689) phase work; Spurlock Road (Route 856) planned this year; Horton Summit (Route 654) and Eaton Hill later in the summer; and an extended pipeline of projects scheduled into 2027—330 including O'Hee's Creek (Route 660), Turkey Lick (Route 6401), Fowler's Branch (Route 697), Chestnut Ridge (Route 6716) and Pippin Lane (Route 892).
The board moved to adopt the VDOT six-year plan; motion carried on a voice vote with supervisors voting in favor. Several supervisors and residents had earlier asked VDOT to provide clearer photos and scheduling details for roads they wanted considered in future plan updates.
Following the vote, VDOT representatives said staff would follow up with residents about specific complaints raised during the meeting, including ditching and culvert issues, and provide a mowing schedule to the board when contractor work begins.
The plan adoption commits the county to the prioritized projects listed in VDOT—s program; individual project start and finish dates can carry across construction seasons and are subject to available funding and environmental clearances.
