4, 2012 in the General District Courtroom of the Edwin R. Shields Courthouse Addition the following
resolution was presented and adopted:
WHEREAS, Berry Hill Road (Route 863) serves as an important link between Pittsylvania
County, the City of Danville and the City of Eden in North Carolina and provides access to a
regionally important industrial development area; and
WHEREAS, Berry Hill Road (Route 863) was originally constructed and accepted by the
Virginia Department of Transportation as a secondary road in the State system of highways; and
WHEREAS, the State of North Carolina desires to extend the designation of United States
Route 311 from its current terminus in the City of Eden to United States Route 58 in Pittsylvania
County; and
WHEREAS, the extension of United States Route 311 would involved the transfer of Berry
Hill Road (Route 863) from the Virginia Department of Transportation secondary highway system to
the primary highway system; and
WHEREAS, Berry Hill Road (Route 863) meets a majority of the criteria established by the
Commonwealth Transportation Board governing the transfer of secondary highways to the primary
highway system; and
WHEREAS, Pittsylvania County requests that all existing access and any existing
improvement projects be grandfathered to follow prior classification standards; then
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Pittsylvania County Board of
Supervisors does hereby support the request that the Commonwealth Transportation Board reclassify
Berry Hill Road (Route 863) from the North Carolina State Line to its intersection with United States
Route 58 as a primary highway.
Given under my hand this 4th day of June, 2012.
