VDOT presents county priorities, estimates $805,160 for secondary six‑year plan
Summary
VDOT told the Board the county’s draft secondary six‑year plan totals $805,160 over six years (about $538,976 for unpaved roads; $266,184 from telefees). Top priorities listed were Green Level Road (Route 621), Brandywine Road (Route 649), and East River Road (Route 600).
A VDOT representative, Mr. McKnight, reviewed King William’s draft secondary six‑year plan and explained the funding categories and local priorities.
"The total amount estimated for the plan is $805,160 over 6 year period," Mr. McKnight said, noting the plan includes $538,976 for unpaved roads and $266,184 from telecommunication fees. He described the county’s top priorities: Route 621 (Green Level Road) estimated at $228,333 and already in early construction stages; Route 649 (Brandywine Road) estimated at $93,764 with construction expected summer 2026; and Route 600 (East River Road) estimated at $179,789 with construction projected in summer 2027. Mr. McKnight emphasized that the figures are estimates that can change year to year and that the board is not required to add roads this year if it chooses not to.
Board members asked about breakdowns between telefees and unpaved‑road funds for specific projects; Mr. McKnight said the plan includes line‑item estimates and that vehicle‑count surveys were recent (2024–2025) and can be updated if the board requests further counts for a specific road. He also reminded the board that a public hearing is required in May if state funding to the county exceeds $100,000.
Next steps: VDOT will hold the formal public hearing in May; board members may adjust priorities or request additional traffic counts before finalizing the plan.
