Site work and paving for a road / highway in Roanoke, Virginia. Conceptual plans call for site work for a road / highway; and for paving for a road / highway.

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 awarded in 2021 to eliminate the remaining project deficit. $13,000 will be allocated in FY 2023 through the VDOT 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 FY-2024-2033 *Project information has been obtained through a public capital improvement plan (CIP).
