Purpose
PURPOSE/BACKGROUND:
The Commonwealth Transportation Board approved, by Resolution on June 16, 2026, the State of Good Repair district funding distribution percentages for fiscal year 2027. Pursuant to Code of Virginia § 33.2-369, as amended, titled “State of Good Repair”, the Virginia Department of Transportation (“VDOT”) provides funding for reconstruction and replacement of structurally deficient state and locally owned bridges and rehabilitation of pavement, including municipality maintained primary extensions. The City of Hampton (“City”) applied and was approved for that State of Good Repair funding, and a total of $1,414,046 was allocated for four (4) projects, as follows: 609 Todds Lane Resurfacing Project ($127,978); 610 Todds Lane Resurfacing Project ($325,913); 611 Cunningham Drive Resurfacing Project ($429,747); 614 Todds Lane Resurfacing Project ($530,408).
In addition, in April of 2026, VDOT identified an available balance in the Hampton Roads State of Good Repair Local Paving program and offered localities an opportunity to apply for additional funding. The City applied and was approved for additional State of Good Repair funding in a total amount of $1,915,306 to be allocated for three (3) additional projects, as follows: 692 Pembroke Avenue Resurfacing Project ($327,520); 762 Mercury Boulevard Resurfacing Project ($874,963); and 715 25th Street (Kecoughtan Road) Resurfacing Project ($712,823).
All of these projects will enhance transportation within the City of Hampton. Once the allocations are accepted by the City, the funds are available immediately. VDOT has already assigned project numbers in anticipation of the City's approval of this request.
