ACCESS HIGHWAYS (§ 33.2-401)

The Board may plan, designate, acquire, open, construct, reconstruct, improve,
maintain, discontinue, abandon, and regulate the use of limited access highways
in the same manner in which it is now or may be authorized to plan, designate,
acquire, open, construct, reconstruct, improve, maintain, discontinue, abandon,
and regulate the use of other highways within the Commonwealth. The Board shall
also have any and all other additional authority and power relative to other
highways, which shall include the right to acquire by purchase, eminent domain,
grant, or dedication title to such lands or rights-of-way for such limited
access highways.
		Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Code, any highway, street, or
portion thereof to which access rights of abutters have been acquired by the
Board and which is subsequently incorporated into the street system of a city or
town by any method shall remain limited access until and unless the governing
body of the city or town, after securing the approval of the Board, acts to
discontinue such limited access feature.
