Isle of Wight
“A Department of Transportation official told the Isle of
Wight Board of Supervisors on Thursday that the U.S. 460 project was being
refocused, not suspended entirely.
The project, a new 55-mile stretch of divided highway slated
to be built along the route of the existing 460, has had permitting issues
since the Army Corps of Engineers and the Federal Highway Administration
ordered additional study of the impact the project would have on area wetlands
in October 2013. The study was ordered when it became clear that previous
estimates of the amount of wetland area impacted were substantially lower than
the agencies were seeing out in the field.
The Virginia Department of Transportation project manager
for the new 460 improvement, Philip Rinehart, told the board the study is
projected to be completed by August or September.”
