NEWS!!!!  VDOT'S  'PAINT THE PLOW PROGRAM" IN ISLE OF WIGHT
Four Isle of Wight County Schools are participating in the Virginia Department of Transportation's (VDOT) "Paint the Plow" program. Smithfield High School, Smithfield Middle School, Windsor High School, and Georgie Tyler Middle School are showcasing the talents and creativity of their students by painting the blade of a snow plow. The plows will be used this winter throughout the county during inclement weather.  All four snowplows will be featured in the Windsor Christmas Parade, December 2nd and the Smithfield Christmas Parade, December 9th. Parade organizers have created a judging category this year for Best Plow. In addition, Isle of Wight County will also have online voting set up for the public to select a People's Choice award for Best Plow out of the four schools.

Transportation in Isle of Wight is managed collaboratively by the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) and the County’s Transportation Division. All roadways in the County are either “public” roadways owned and maintained by (VDOT) or “private” roadways owned and maintained by individual property owners. The Town of Smithfield does maintain some secondary roads within the Town boundary.

vdotLogo5The County does not own or maintain any roadways in Isle of Wight.
Safety and maintenance issues on public roadways–including flooding, tree limbs, signage, debris and all other issues within the right-of-way; should be reported to the VDOT at 1-800-FOR-ROAD.

VDOT can also be contacted on their FACEBOOK PAGE, on TWITTER, or on YouTUBE.

Local construction projects for new improvements, including sidewalks, turn lanes, bridge replacements, and road widening can be managed either by VDOT or by the Transportation Division through the State’s Locally Administered Program (LAP). An overview of the County’s LAP program can be read HERE, or watched HERE through the Board of Supervisor’s meeting video archive.
