2023 SESSION
23101954DBe it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:
1. That § 33.2-369 of the Code of Virginia is amended and reenacted as follows:
§ 33.2-369. State of good repair.
A. As used in For purposes of this section,:
"General condition rating" means a rating of a major bridge element collected in accordance with 23 CFR § 650.315, as may be amended, based on the most recent inventory conducted by the Department.
"state "State of
good repair purposes" means improvement of deficient pavement conditions
and improvement of structurally
deficient bridges with a general
condition rating of five or less
for at least one major bridge
component.
B. The Board shall use funds allocated in § §§ 33.2-358 and § 58.1-1741 to state of good
repair purposes for (i)
reconstruction, and replacement, and
implementation of improvements anticipated
to extend the useful life by at least 10 years of structurally deficient state
and locally owned bridges with a general
condition rating of five or less
for at least one major bridge component and (ii) reconstruction and
rehabilitation of pavement on the Interstate System and primary state highway
system determined to be deteriorated by the Board, including
municipality-maintained primary extensions.
The Board shall allocate these funds to projects in all nine
highway construction districts for state of good repair purposes based on a
priority ranking system that takes into consideration (i) (a) the number, condition, and
costs of structurally deficient bridges with a general
condition rating of five or less for at least one major bridge component
and (ii) (b)
the mileage, condition, and costs to replace deteriorated pavements. The Board
shall ensure an equitable a needs-based distribution of
funding among the highway construction districts,
with no district receiving more than 17.5 percent or less than 5.5 percent of
the total funding allocated in any given year. The Board may, by a duly adopted
resolution, waive the cap provided in this section for a fiscal year only when
it determines that due to extraordinary circumstances or needs the cap inhibits
the ability of the Department to address a key pavement or bridge need that has
been identified.
C. In any year in which the Department has not met the established targets for secondary pavements developed in accordance with § 33.2-232 and before making the allocations in subsection B, the Board may allocate up to 20 percent of these funds to all nine highway construction districts to improve the condition of secondary pavements. The Board shall ensure an equitable needs-based distribution of funds among highway construction districts based on the mileage, condition, and cost to improve secondary pavements.
2. That the provisions of this act shall become effective June 1, 2024.
