Committee flags $29M Stevensburg Road estimate and asks staff to check commitment risk in VDOT agreement

Sep 9, 2026

Staff told the committee Stevensburg Road is estimated at about $29 million; because VDOT revenue-sharing grants cap at $10 million per project, the county could be responsible for the remainder. Members asked staff to review the standard project agreement to avoid irrevocable county commitment and to explore SmartScale and other options.

County staff told the committee the Stevensburg Road project is estimated at approximately $29,000,000 and that VDOT revenue-sharing grants are capped at $10,000,000 per project, which would leave the county responsible for the remainder if costs hold. Staff said VDOT raised design questions and suggested another engineering review could reduce cost.
