road washed out. Property owner willing to donate land. VDOT doesn’t necessarily want to widen the road, but some paving is required to stabilize the roadbed.
VDOT expects local opposition to the proposal. Very little preliminary work completed. Projected completion date mid-1999.
No. 8: Route 612 to .5 miles south Route 612 (.5 miles). Improve sight distance on blind curve. Very little preliminary work completed. Projected completion date late 1999, early 2000.
No. 18a: Water Street bridge in Sperryville from .2 miles east U.S. 522 to .25 miles east U.S. 522 (.05 miles). Reconstruct approaches.
No. 18b: Reconstruct Water Street bridge over Thornton River. Narrow wooden deck bridge with metal beams and marginal guardrails. Weightlimited. Engineering safety rating of 31.90 out of possible 100.
If work is significantly delayed, bridge will eventually deteriorate to the point that it will have to be closed. Moore believes that a much wider bridge will be built if VDOT has to completely replace the bridge. Several distinct groups are in opposition to the project.
Preliminary engineering work will begin as project moves higher up priority list. Projected start and completion date, mid-2001 to early 2002.
No. 21: Gid Brown Hollow Road from Route 623 to 1 mile north Route 623 (1.01 miles). Reconstruct, pave, and widen
