A request has been made to prohibit through truck traffic on Brucetown Road (Route 672) from the
entrance to Frev' s OUarry east to the Clarke County Line. Brucetown road is an east-west collector road,
located in the Stonewall Magisterial District. It is primarily used to direct residential traffic to and from
Valley Pike (Route 11 N) and Interstate 81. The alternate route for through trucks has been identified
as Interstate 81 (see attached map).
In accordance with Section 46.2-809 of the Code of Virginia, Frederick County must hold a public
hearing on this matter. If the Frederick County Board of Supervisors determines that it is appropriate
to restrict through truck traffic along this segment of road a resolution to the Commissioner of the
Virginia Department of Transportation would be appropriate. The Commissioner would then make a
decision on the matter within nine (9) months. Four criteria are used by the Commissioner when
reviewing a request for through truck restriction. These criteria include the following:
1) There must be a reasonable alternate route for through truck traffic.
2) Truck traffic must be incompatible with the route proposed for no through truck traffic.
3) The roadway should be residential in nature.
4) The roadway should be a local or collector road.
The complete guidelines, as approved by the Commonwealth Transportation Board on October 16, 2003,
are attached for your information.
Please review this request for consideration during the November 12, 2003 Board of Supervisors
meeting. lfyou have any questions,feelfree to contact me.
