Project Details
Rural Rustic Road reconstruction project on Route 746 (Todd Road) in Augusta County. This 1.72 mile long project extends from Route 745 to Route 616. The road surface will be graded and widened to 16 feet, drainage will be improved and the road will receive a surface treatment pavement.
All work will be completed within the existing right-of way.
The total estimated cost for this project is $902,803, which includes $48,767 for preliminary engineering, $142,000 for right of way and $712,036 for construction.
The Rural Rustic road program provides cost efficient paving to unpaved roads, staying in the current right of way. Typically for a road to be eligible for the program it must be an unpaved road already within the state secondary system and carry no more than 1500 vehicles per day.
Benefits of Project
The Rural Rustic Road Program is a practical approach to paving Virginia's low-volume roads. It aims to keep traditional rural lane ambience, while improving the road surface within the current right-of-way.
During Construction
No road closures are anticipated but motorists should be alert for work zones and flagging operations.
