At the May 2018 Commonwealth Transportation Board meeting, Secretary of Transportation Shannon Valentine announced the launch of the Interstate 81 Corridor Improvement Plan. As directed in Senate Bill 971, the CTB, supported by OIPI, VDOT and DRPT, will study I-81 to identify priorities along the 325 miles and potential revenue sources that could be dedicated to improvements. SB 971 was introduced by
senators Mark Obenshain and Bill Carrico, and supported by Del. Steve Landes with budget language in the House of Delegates budget bill.
Please refer to Interstate 81 Corridor Improvement Plan for current information.
