CONTROL, SUPERVISION, AND MANAGEMENT OF SECONDARY STATE HIGHWAY SYSTEM
COMPONENTS (§ 33.2-326)

A. The control, supervision, management, and jurisdiction over the secondary
state highway system shall be vested in the Department, and the maintenance and
improvement, including construction and reconstruction, of such secondary state
highway system shall be by the Commonwealth under the supervision of the
Commissioner of Highways. The boards of supervisors or other governing bodies of
the counties shall have no control, supervision, management, or jurisdiction
over such public highways, causeways, bridges, landings, and wharves
constituting the secondary state highway system. Except as otherwise provided in
this article, the Board shall be vested with the same powers, control, and
jurisdiction over the secondary state highway system in the counties and towns
of the Commonwealth, and such additions as may be made, as were vested in the
boards of supervisors or other governing bodies of the counties on June 21,
1932, and in addition thereto shall be vested with the same power, authority,
and control as to the secondary state highway system as is vested in the Board
in connection with the primary state highway system.

B. Nothing in this chapter shall be construed as requiring the Department, when
undertaking improvements to any secondary state highway system component or any
portion of any such component, to fully reconstruct such component or portion
thereof to bring it into compliance with all design and engineering standards
that would be applicable to such component or portion thereof if the project
involved new construction.
