24 Va. Admin. Code § 30-92-90 - Connections to or work within streets maintained by the department
A. Connections to
streets maintained by the department. A land use permit issued by the
department is required for new connections of any kind to existing streets
maintained by the department. Due to the wide variation in prevailing
conditions, each location shall be evaluated individually to determine exact
requirements. Therefore, it is incumbent upon the developer or his designee to
apply for a land use permit at the appropriate time to ensure the desired
completion of the development. Such application shall be made to the district
administrator's designee and shall be consistent with the approved plats or
plans for the subdivision or the document reviewed for the connection of a
street that is to remain privately maintained. In no instance where the
proposed connection to the existing streets maintained by the department
involves a stub out shall a land use permit be unreasonably withheld.
B. Relocations, adjustments, and improvement
of streets maintained by the department. All work performed within the existing
right-of-way of streets maintained by the department, including pavement
widening, the addition of turn lanes, realignments and relocations of existing
streets, shall be coordinated with and approved by the department as follows:
1. All such work shall be accomplished
pursuant to a land use permit issued by the department after the required
right-of-way has been dedicated to public use or as otherwise required by the
department.
2. All work, including
the relocation, adjustment, and improvement of existing streets under VDOT
jurisdiction shall be subject to the department's direction rather than these
requirements. Such work should include overlaying and restriping the old and
new portions of the roadway as may be required by the district administrator's
designee.
3. The relocation of
streets maintained by the department shall only be accomplished with the
consent of the local governing body.
4. Traffic, both vehicular and pedestrian,
should be maintained on streets under the department's jurisdiction until the
new portion has been accepted by the department for maintenance unless the
department authorizes a closure of the road to traffic.
5. No street or roadway maintained by the
department and actively used by the public shall be abandoned or vacated unless
a new street serving the same citizens has been constructed and accepted for
maintenance by the department.
