2014 Virginia Code
Title 33.1 - Highways, Bridges and Ferries
§ 33.1-170. (Repealed effective October 1, 2014) Plans for relocation of such highway

When and if there shall be a final approval of the abandonment of the road by the board of supervisors or other governing body or the court, as the case may be, the city or town shall, solely at its own expense, submit to the Commissioner plans and specifications for a proposed relocation of the highway, containing such information and facts as a location, elevations and other matters as the Commissioner may require. The Commissioner shall have the power to change, alter and amend the plans so as to conform to the Commissioner's views as to the location, width and type of construction of such road to be built on the new location, provided, however, that the new road shall be so located that it will not be flooded by the water to be impounded, and provided further, that the Commissioner may not require a more expensive type or character of road than the one to be abandoned. The Commissioner shall either approve such plans and specifications as proposed by the city or town or as so amended by the Commissioner.
