VDOT briefs Amelia County on secondary six‑year plan; Obslow Lane and Stony Point remain priorities
Summary
VDOT said Amelia’s secondary 6‑year plan relies on two main funding streams — unpaved roads funds and telecommunication telefees — projecting roughly $49,000 annually for unpaved‑road funds and $28,000 in telefees; projects include Route 620 Stony Point Road (completed construction, $360,000 budget) and Route 672 Obslow Lane (estimated $220,000, fully funded by 07/01/2026).
VDOT representatives reviewed maintenance and improvement activities and provided an overview of the county’s secondary six‑year plan funding and projects. Miss Worley said the county receives two primary funding sources for secondary road projects: an unpaved secondary roads fund (for hard surfacing unpaved secondary roads that meet a 50 vehicles/day threshold) and telecommunication fees (telefees) returned to the county for secondary improvements.
Worley estimated Amelia’s projected allocations at about $49,000 annually from unpaved funds and roughly $28,000 from telefees for fiscal year 2026–2031 projections. She reviewed the county’s current projects: Route 620 (Stony Point Road) had a $360,000 construction budget and will receive a final surface treatment once weather allows, and Route 672 (Obslow Lane) is estimated at $220,000 and is expected to be fully funded for construction by 07/01/2026.
Worley said the board must pass a resolution confirming FY26 priorities or could modify the six‑year plan; she agreed to supply an updated list of unpaved roads and traffic counts before the board’s upcoming workshop so supervisors can verify which routes meet the 50 vehicles/day rule.
Board members asked for the unpaved roads list and Worley agreed to provide it by the next workshop; the board discussed options to reallocate leftover funds if necessary. The presentation was informational; any change in project prioritization would require formal action and, where required, public hearings.
What's next: VDOT will send the updated unpaved‑roads list and traffic counts to county staff and the board, and staff will return to the board with any recommended plan changes for formal action if requested.
