                                 CODE OF VIRGINIA

STATE OF GOOD REPAIR (§ 33.2-369)

A. For purposes of this section:
			&#8220;General condition rating&#8221; means a rating of a major bridge
component collected in accordance with 23 C.F.R. &#xA7; 650.315, as may be
amended.
			&#8220;State of good repair purposes&#8221; means improvement of deficient
pavement conditions and improvement of bridges with a general condition rating
of no more than five for at least one major bridge component.

B. The Board shall use funds allocated in &#xA7;  33.2-358 to state of good
repair purposes for (i) reconstruction, replacement, and other improvements
anticipated to extend the useful life by at least 10 years of state and locally
owned bridges with a general condition rating of no more than five 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 (a) the number, condition, and
costs of bridges with a general condition rating of no more than five for at
least one major bridge component and (b) the mileage, condition, and costs to
replace deteriorated pavements. The Board shall ensure an equitable 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 &#xA7; 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.
