In February, at the Westmoreland Board of Supervisors’ meeting, County Administrator Jim Taylor brought forth a matter involving documents that would update the state highway system. This has been particularly relevant for the County ever since the realignment project for Route 347 came to completion in 2021. The highway system needs to reflect both new and abandoned routes. According to Taylor, while the roadway realignment project started in 2020 and finished the year after, VDOT’s central office required confirmation from the current Board that they supported the previously approved project. This would allow VDOT to finalize the formal changes.
