VDOT Responsible for Plowing All VDOT Roadways

 Email Article To a Friend View Printable Version  

The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) is responsible for removing snow and ice from the thousands of miles of public roads (interstate, primary, and secondary) in Fairfax County, including Crosspointe streets.  Below are some commonly asked questions regarding the snow removal of Crosspointe streets to include some helpful links for residents, provided by VDOT.

How soon will all roads be passable after a winter storm? Other secondary roads and subdivision streets will be treated if multiday storms hit Virginia, but crews will focus their efforts on those roads that carry the most traffic. The innovative Web tool, found at www.VirginiaDOT.org

Where do I park during snow storms - It is helpful to the VDOT clean-up crews that plow our roads if you can park your vehicles in your driveways. If you must park on the road - park on the side of the road with the odd numbers so plows can clear most of the road.

Crosspointe Streets and Virginia Repaving Ratings

 Email Article To a Friend View Printable Version  

According to Delegate Dave Albo (R-42nd District), Virginia prioritizes road construction based on projects that will reduce the most congestion.  Repaving is based on ratings that were produced using ground penetrating radar.  In theory, it should be “worst, first” for repaving.  You can see how your street in Crosspointe – or other roads --  are rated at://www.virginiaroads.org/Pavement.
