Page 404, after line 4, insert:"E. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the Virginia Department of Transportation shall utilize no state funds to effect the closure of the access road connecting Shaw Road to State Route 28 in Loudoun County until such time that ingress from Waxpool Road to Shaw Road has been made to accommodate the traffic that will be diverted through neighborhoods in the vicinity."


Explanation
(This amendment prohibits the Virginia Department of Transportation from proceeding with its plan to close the access road that connects Shaw Road to State Route 28 in Loudoun County. The neighborhood roadways in the vicinity of the access roads are insufficient to accommodate the additional traffic that would be generated by the closure of the access road which includes businesses employing over 400 persons.)
