VIRGINIA: At the Pittsylvania County Board of Supervisors' ("Board")Business Meeting on Tuesday,
June 20, 2023, in the Board Meeting Room, the following Resolution was presented and adopted:
WHEREAS, due to safety and weight concerns, the aging 57 East Bridge ("bridge") in Pittsylvania
County, Virginia("County"), is currently restricted to one(1)passable lane; and
WHEREAS, this lane closure is potentially dangerous and inconvenient to County citizens and
businesses; and

Transportation("VDOT")reexamine the current impractical and unsustainable situation involving the bridge and
take all necessary steps to either repair or replace the bridge in an expedited and efficient manner; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that a certified copy of this Resolution be forwarded to VDOT.
Given under my hand this 20th day of June, 2023.
