Board hears VDOT updates on paving, bridge and safety projects
Summary
County staff reported improved coordination with VDOT on paving schedules, property-owner permission for the Lindsey Lane Swinging Bridge demolition, safety improvements on Hoover Road intersections, and timing for a Moon Road bridge replacement and Route 29 paving.
At the July 28 meeting, the County Administrator reported that staff had established improved communications with the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) to better coordinate paving schedules and notification to emergency services.
Staff said final property-owner permission had been obtained for demolition work related to the Lindsey Lane Swinging Bridge and that demolition activities were expected to begin in the coming months. The County Administrator also discussed safety-improvement reviews for several Hoover Road intersections and said VDOT was reviewing plats to determine whether additional right-of-way would be needed. A bridge replacement project on Moon Road was anticipated later in the year; staff said they would coordinate with residents and emergency services before construction.
Board members raised concerns about deteriorating pavement near a Shelby Road R-cut and visibility issues at Hoover Road intersections. The County Administrator said staff would continue to share these concerns with VDOT and monitor progress. No formal votes or funding decisions were made on these items at the meeting.
