"H. Out of the amounts appropriated in this item, the department is hereby directed to make funding for the resurfacing and maintenance of State Route 60 in New Kent County a priority."



Explanation

(This amendment directs VDOT to prioritize the resurfacing and maintenance of State Route 60 in New Kent County. Due to the many patches that have been applied over the years and uneven pavement sections, safety issues have arisen as travelers swerve to miss bumps and suddenly slow down in an effort to avoid damaging their vehicles. As construction work begins on Interstate 64 from I-295 to Interstate 64 Exit 205, traffic is projected to increase significantly on State Route 60 as travelers attempt to avoid congestion and delays on I-64. This will have an adverse impact on the current, already treacherous conditions of State Route 60.)
