CVTA approves $709,000 Henrico-administered agreement for Short Pump/Northgate interchange survey

The Central Virginia Transportation Authority on Aug. 28 approved a project agreement that allocates $709,000 for initial survey work on the Northgate/Short Pump interchange, a component of a larger project for which the authority has committed just over $63,000,000.

CBTA staff presented the agreement and said Henrico County will administer the specific $709,000 carve‑out while the bulk of the project will be administered by the Virginia Department of Transportation. “Initial survey, the allocated funding amount for this project agreement is $709,000,” the staff presenter said. The technical and finance committees had recommended approval, and the board approved the agreement by roll-call vote.

The staff member described the agreement as the conduit for regional reimbursements and noted separate agreements with VDOT will cover the larger construction and reimbursement work. The board did not debate alternatives in detail at the meeting and moved the item forward for execution under the terms presented.
