Roadway Planning

The Washington County Highway Department has produced transportation and roadway plans to serve as guiding documents to help with both short and long-term budgeting, identify and address safety issues, and to inform the public on when to expect roadway improvements to occur.

These plans are living documents that evolve year to year based on funding and community needs.

2050 Transportation Network Sustainability Plan

The Washington County Highway Department has developed its first long-range transportation plan. The plan has a design year of 2050 and serves as a guide for budgeting by estimating when specific stretches of the Washington County highway system should be improved based on a 25-year pavement lifecycle. This plan is intended to help achieve a financially sustainable transportation network for Washington County. This plan serves as a guide and information within it is subject to change due to many factors in the future.
