Resident faults recent VDOT surface treatments; county staff and VDOT to follow up
Summary
A resident, Bobby Light, showed photos and urged county action after recent surface-treatment work raveled quickly on multiple roads; VDOT staff acknowledged contractor involvement and committed to follow-up and additional inspections.
Bobby Light, a county resident, presented photos and a field description of recent surface-treatment failures on several rural roads, including Sweat House Creek Road. He said the application appeared to be done in unsuitable temperature conditions—"cold tar and wet gravel don't stick"—and that raveling left dangerous riding surfaces for motorcyclists.
VDOT-related staff (Miss Worley) acknowledged earlier contractor work and said crews returned to effect repairs; she noted the district has plans for shoulder stone and grading on specified routes and said she would follow up on the addresses shown by the resident. Board members asked staff to coordinate with VDOT and to report back in January with specific findings for the addresses residents provided so supervisors can respond to constituents.
