Asked to respond to the study’s recommendations, in a telephone interview on Aug. 16 Mr. Phillips said the review of the Rt. 211 project was conducted as part of a week-long workshop on value engineering. The value engineering team had just a day or two to examine the proposed improvements to 211 and virtually no time to devote to cost projections for various alternatives, he said. And if the project were to be scaled down to widening the pavement, very little of the existing road could be used and still meet current design standards, specifically for grade and sight distance, he said.
To satisfy those standards, it would be necessary to essentially build a new two-lane facility following a new aligment, which would cost far more than the $1.4 million estimated by the study team, Mr. Phillips said.
Engineer Joe Staton, a 27-year veteran with VDOT, was team leader for the value engineering study of Rt. 211. He confirmed in a telephone interview this week that the study was done as part of a course “to instruct us on the princi
