Virginia's secondary and primary highways will not meet even the state's minimum standards for acceptable pavement conditions with the money available, VDOT officials said Wednesday.
Even with an increasing share of Virginia's transportation money being spent on maintenance, the 57,867-mile state-maintained road system will fall short of the Virginia Department of Transportation's targets for limiting deficient pavements.
VDOT said the proportion of deficient pavements by highway systems is:
•interstate, 20.1 percent
•primary, 24.3 percent
•secondary, 31.1 percent
The Transportation Department wants to hold deficient pavement to 18 percent of interstate highways and primary roads, and stop secondary roads from getting worse.
