There are two categories of projects in the dashboard:

• Projects initiating from plans or studies that required applying for funding from VDOT, committing local funds, or a combination of both. These projects range in scope from pedestrian crossings to highway interchange projects. These projects are referenced in the pie chart, the search lists, and the total project indicators. These projects are split into three different categories, focusing on the phase in which the project is in:
  • GREEN = Recently Completed Projects
  • ORANGE = Projects In Design
  • BLUE = Projects Under Construction

   
  You can click on either the project name on the lists, or by clicking on the project on the map. This will open a pop-up window for each of the projects with more information. Project documents can be viewed by clicking “View” on the “Project Documents” line within the pop-up.

Projects have been split into “Points” and “Segments” so that their scope can be more accurately represented in a map format, it is not a formal distinction between types of projects.

• Funded Rural Rustic Projects are paving projects that focus on paving unpaved roads, typically in the Rural Areas. This is a part of the Secondary Six Year Plan, which allocates State money towards maintaining secondary roads in the county. Rural Rustic roads are not part of any plans or studies and are requested to be paved on a case-by-case basis, either by residents on the road or by members of the Board of Supervisors speaking for residents in their district. Every year, new Rural Rustic roads are added to the SSYP, which is passed annually in late spring. Typically, Rural Rustic projects are completed within a year of SSYP adoption. Clicking on the list of Rural Rustic projects or clicking on the segments on the map will open a pop-up window with more information.
