State Highway Budget Cut Again In Virginia

Virginia Transportation officials are moving hundreds of millions of dollars from secondary and urban road projects to higher priority interstate and primary highways.

It's an effort to use dwindling transportation revenues on high-traffic routes, particularly bridges. The Commonwealth Transportation Board votes on the revisions next month.

State highway money has declined by about $4.6 billion since spring 2008, forcing hard cuts.

On Wednesday, the board released a list of 190 proposed reductions worth $403 million through 2015.
