Board discusses VDOT's secondary six-year plan and candidate roads for paving
Summary
County staff and supervisors reviewed VDOT's proposed candidate roads for the 2026 Secondary Six-Year Plan, discussed traffic-count and lane-width criteria, and set a target timeline (first May meeting) for the public hearing and plan adoption.
Madison County supervisors discussed the Virginia Department of Transportation's draft 2026 Secondary Six-Year Plan, which evaluates unpaved and secondary roads for potential improvements based on traffic counts, lane width and other criteria.
County staff presented a list of candidate roads for VDOT study and described programs (including a "rural rustic" option that can stretch limited funds with hard-surface, lower-cost treatments). Staff asked VDOT to identify which candidate roads meet qualifying criteria so the board can set a public hearing. Supervisors discussed timing and agreed a May meeting is a reasonable target for adopting the county's six-year plan and holding the required public hearing.
Board members also requested a status update on specific prior projects (including Turner Road and Route 230 repaving) and asked staff to invite VDOT and the county engineer to present detailed information at the next meeting.
