Summary

VDOT told the Board an unpaved road project on Route 617 is slated for spring 2025 and the Spring Cottage Road bridge remains closed for structural issues with construction expected to complete in 2025; speed signs were installed and maintenance continues.

Lee McKnight, representing VDOT, updated the Board on local road projects and maintenance. McKnight said the next unpaved‑road project will be Route 617 (Exol Road) with work scheduled for spring 2025. He reported the Spring Cottage Road bridge will remain closed due to structural issues; the project was expected to be advertised in fall 2024 with construction completing in spring or summer 2025.

McKnight said permits were issued and speed display signs have been installed on Route 33 in Mattaponi and Route 629 in Walkerton and that routine maintenance across county roads continues. He warned a weather event expected the following day could bring downed trees and heavy rains with potential flooding.

Board members asked about the timeline for paving Tastine Road (placement on the Six Year Plan does not guarantee immediate paving) and about which Smart Scale projects had been submitted; staff said projects for Rt. 14 (The Trail) and Rt. 614 (Devils Three Jump Road) had been submitted but approvals were pending.

VDOT did not provide specific contractor names or bid schedules at the meeting.
