Jamestown-scotland ferry dock/deck replacement

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded $142,855.00 to the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) on August 11, 2025, under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) to fund preliminary engineering services for the Jamestown-Scotland Ferry Dock/Deck Replacement project in Surry County, Virginia. The project encompasses the removal and replacement of deteriorated pilings, bracing, and walking surfaces at the Surry Ferry Terminal (milepoints 20.07-20.1) that have exceeded their normal service life. Engineering services will support the expansion of the deck work area from approximately 200 linear feet to 1,405 linear feet to improve safety for pedestrians utilizing walkways and gangways on the Surry side of the ferry terminal.

This award represents a planning and preliminary engineering phase under the Highway Planning and Construction program, which provides federal financial assistance to states for transportation infrastructure improvement, preservation, and related planning activities. The funding enables VDOT to advance the technical and design requirements necessary for subsequent construction implementation of this ferry terminal infrastructure improvement project.
