VDOT reports progress on local projects; Victory Boulevard and Route 134 work to continue through 2026–27
Summary
VDOT told York County supervisors it completed most maintenance work from Aug. 1–Oct. 31 and outlined upcoming ditching, guardrail, bridge and paving projects; major phasing for Route 134 deck replacement and Victory Boulevard work may extend into 2027, with traffic phasing planned to keep eastbound lanes open.
Ross, VDOT’s presenter to the York County Board on Dec. 2, gave a quarterly report summarizing customer‑service activity, maintenance outcomes and short‑term project schedules.
For Aug. 1–Oct. 31 VDOT logged 451 customer concerns and completed 377; staff also created 146 internal work orders and completed 145. The aggregate figures for the period were 597 work orders created and 522 completed (an 87% completion rate for the combined set). Top service categories were drainage, surface patching, and dead‑animal removal.
Ross reviewed recently completed work (tree trimming, inlet repairs and concrete ditch replacement on multiple local streets) and detailed upcoming maintenance and construction: ditching on Route 17 between 1773 and 105, Barlow Road pipe cleaning, drainage projects on Quartermarsh Drive and Dawson’s Crescent, and guardrail and bridge repairs (including Route 143/64 bridge abutment and anchor‑bolt work). He said the Route 134 bridge deck replacement is a phased project (phase‑1 abutment/backfill ongoing) with a fixed phased completion target within late 2026; other complex projects may have milestones into 2027.
Board members raised concerns about likely lane closures and detours for the Victory Boulevard and Kiln Creek work. Ross said VDOT is scoping detour routes and plans phasing so eastbound traffic remains open while westbound lanes are worked on; some activities may require longer closures (estimates ranged in discussion from months to as long as 6–8 months for certain tie‑in work).
Ross also described a 14‑month asphalt schedule for neighborhood paving, pedestrian‑safety reviews near schools (including recommendations for rectangular rapid‑flashing beacons), a speed reduction on Fort Eustace Boulevard, and median pavement work to control crossover movements.
The board thanked VDOT for coordination and asked staff to follow up with more detailed closure and detour timing as construction phasing is finalized.
