A representative from the Virginia Department of Transportation s Williamsburg residency updated the York County Board of Supervisors on May 7 about recent maintenance work and upcoming transportation projects across the county.
"We have completed 332 of 392 maintenance work orders received. That's a 60 outstanding, 85 completion rate this quarter," VDOT Williamsburg residency representative Rossi told the board, summarizing the period from Feb. 1 to April 30.
Rossi listed maintenance highlights including three cross-pipe replacements on Crawford Road, bridge and erosion repairs at Coleman Bridge and Water Street, and county mowing and litter removal that began May 1. He reported 40,879 linear feet of roadside ditching, about 1.23 miles of tree trimming and 32 tons of roadway patching deployed during the quarter; crews also completed 11 lane miles of roadway sweeping.
The residency described several active and planned projects: a pilot HAWK mid-block pedestrian crossing that went live Jan. 26, structural repairs and planned epoxy overlay work for known bridge decks once warmer night temperatures allow, and a Penmen/Government Road safety-improvement project that will widen the road, add bicycle lanes and realign a Y intersection to a T.
Rossi also outlined multiple Smart Scale projects: the Route 17 widening between Wolf Trap and Fort Eustis (PE and advertisement schedules), additional lane work on Route 171 between Routes 17 and 134 and intersection improvements including a planned roundabout at the More Town/Airport Road intersection. He gave approximate advertisement and construction windows ranging from late 2026 to 2031 for various projects.
Board members raised neighborhood-specific concerns (rumble strips, sign placement, loop detection at traffic signals) and asked for follow-up. Rossi said staff would finalize several traffic engineering studies and noted a likely recommendation for a four-way stop at the Old Williamsburg/Coosley Road intersection after sign-off.
Rossi closed by saying his notes would be shared with county staff for distribution to supervisors.
What this means: The residency reported active maintenance progress and a multiyear project pipeline; supervisors asked staff to monitor neighborhood impacts such as noise from rumble strips and to circulate study results when they are signed and sealed.
