The Buck Mountain Road and Starkey Road Intersection Improvements will reconstruct the existing intersection from a "T" to a roundabout with pedestrian accommodations. The need for this improvement project is based on a Traffic Analysis Report conducted by the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) in April 2013. A survey of the intersection was completed in 2017. VDOT is administering this project and the Preliminary Engineering phase began in 2019 with $3.2 million in project funds. The project estimate increased in 2020 to approximately $5.9 million. $2.6 million in SMART SCALE funding was requested in 2020 to eliminate the project deficit with awards anticipated in June 2021. As this is a VDOT administered project, Regional Surface Transportation Program (RSTP) and State Revenue Sharing funds do not require appropriation. The project includes reconstruction of the existing three-way, un-signalized intersection at Buck Mountain Road and Starkey Road. A 2013 VDOT traffic analysis recommended improvements to the intersection if traffic conditions changed as a result of land development. With the development of property near this intersection, the County is now pursuing options to improve traffic flow. The cost estimate for the project is currently $5.9 million and the project is administered by VDOT. In January 2017, the Board of Supervisors accepted a rezoning proffer in the amount of $80,000, to help offset potential traffic impacts from new development. Revenue Sharing Program funds ($573,278) were allocated in FY 2019 and FY 2020, with a County match of $500,000. In FY 2020, Regional Surface Transportation Program funds ($2.1 million) were allocated. $2.6 million in SMART SCALE funding was requested in 2020 to eliminate the remaining project deficit with awards anticipated in June 2021. $13,000 will be allocated in FY 2023 through the Secondary Six Year Plan. Funding for this project reflects amounts appropriated and may not match actual amounts reflected in Appendix D: VDOT Transportation Projects. At the completion of the project, any remaining funding will be distributed per the County's Comprehensive Financial Policy. This project is included in the city's 2022-2031 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). As of December 20, 2021, this project is being designed in house by the VDOT. Bidding is expected to take place in late 2022 and construction starting in the spring of 2023. *Project information has been obtained through a public capital improvement plan (CIP). A CIP is a financial schedule for short- and long-range projects which is updated regularly. Information listed in the CIP often evolves based on funding availability and the project details, including timeline and value, are subject to change. The content management team will continue to pursue additional details as they become available.
