Halifax supervisors back three VDOT SmartScale projects and adopt six-year secondary-roads plan
Summary
The board adopted a resolution supporting three VDOT SmartScale applications — Route 58/751 turn lanes, Sinai Road pedestrian project, and US-501/Greens Folly Road intersection improvements — and approved the VDOT six-year plan for FY2027–2032 after correcting a mileage error for Adams Trail.
Halifax County supervisors voted May 4 to support three VDOT SmartScale grant applications and adopted the VDOT six-year secondary-roads plan for fiscal years 2027–2032.
J. Brown, acting assistant residency administrator for VDOT Halifax, told the board the county will finalize applications for a Route 58/Route 751 turn-lane project, the Sinai Road pedestrian project, and intersection improvements at U.S. 501 and Greens Folly Road. "We are here tonight to talk about the VDOT smart scale," Brown said. The board adopted Resolution 2026-15 supporting submission of the final applications by voice vote.
On the six-year plan (Resolution 2026-14), staff noted a published length error for the Adams Trail project (corrected from 0.5 mile to 1.2 miles) and adjusted estimated costs accordingly. The board approved the corrected six-year plan for Halifax County, which outlines secondary-road priorities through fiscal 2032.
Supervisors did not identify alternative projects during the meeting and voted to adopt both the SmartScale support resolution and the six-year plan after brief discussion. VDOT staff thanked the board for its participation and said adopted actions will be used to advance design and funding applications.
Both votes were recorded by voice; no roll-call tallies were recorded in the public transcript.
