PLANS FOR RELOCATION OF HIGHWAYS IN CONNECTION WITH MUNICIPAL WATER SUPPLY
PROJECTS (§ 33.2-929)

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