UPDATE : Pungo Ferry Road Improvements Scope of Work Reconstruction w/o Added Capacity Description FROM: Blackwater Road TO: west side of the Pungo Ferry Rd Bridge approach Project is in Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT capital budget fy 2026-2031 CIP _______________________________________________________________________________________ Virginia will receive $34.7 million in federal funding to increase roadway resiliency and implement a weather and traffic monitoring system to help communities respond to extreme weather events. All projects are currently in the design phase. The city of Virginia Beach will receive $19 million to improve a 1.5-mile stretch of Pungo Ferry Road. The project will raise the low-lying roadway portion by 4 feet to address recurring flooding issues and make it passable during 100-year storms. The city will also build paved, graded shoulders and bike paths. The road provides a critical east-west connection for several military installations, agricultural lands and wildlife refuges. Construction will begin in August 2027. Stafford County will use $10.3 million to realign a portion of Brooke Road to mitigate persistent flooding. The Brooke Road Improvement Project will elevate a half-mile of the road's "S" curve above the 100-year floodplain. Once completed, the realigned roadway will allow local communities easier access to critical amenities during heavy rainstorms. Construction will begin in 2026. The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) will receive $5.4 million to install a weather- and traffic-monitoring system to help improve emergency evacuations during natural disasters. The Modernizing Operations for Virginia's Evacuation Resilience (MOVER) system includes flood sensors, stream gauges and traffic cameras across the Tidewater and Chesapeake regions. These technologies will provide real-time data to inform decisions during floods, heavy wind, fires and landslides. The U.S Department of Transportation (USDOT) administered the grants through the Promoting Resilient Operations for Transformative, Efficient and Cost-Saving Transportation (PROTECT) program. USDOT will deliver nearly $830 million for 80 projects nationwide.
