Va. seeks fix for deteriorating secondary roads

Published July 2, 2011 4:00am ET



Virginia’s secondary roads are deteriorating, and neither the state nor localities have the resources to fix them, the Virginia Department of Transportation reported. Nearly a third of the state’s secondary roads are now considered deficient, up from 24 percent in 2007, according to VDOT estimates. The secondary system, the state’s responsibility since the 1930s, now has the highest percentage of deficient roads of all the systems in the commonwealth.
