The Virginia Department of Transportation on Monday began telling some 600 workers they will be out of a job within the coming months, as the agency cuts its payroll to counter a $2.6 billion revenue shortfall.

But less than half of those employees will end up jobless in September or October, with the rest likely being placed in other positions at VDOT or state government, according to VDOT Commissioner David Ekern.
