State funds allocated to counties for secondary roads will continue to be lower than projected as a result of decreased gas consumption. Even with the two cent hike in gas taxes approved by the last General Assembly, Rappahannock can expect just $360,000 for maintenance and construction of secondary roads in 1980-81, according to Askew.
Reduced funds coupled with this year’s heavy maintenance load “can only prolong the six-year plan,” Askew said. “We*re not going to be able to keep on line with things we intended to do in the plan because of the shortfall in funds."
Rappahannock’s six-year plan for secondary roads was revised last fall following two hours of complaints aired at a special meeting in October. Major projects added to the plan as a result of the hearing include surface treatment on 1.5 miles of Route 621 east of Route 522 in Woodville, surface treatment and spot work to improve sight distances and eliminate dangerous curves on portions of Route 637 in Wakefield and Jackson
