Yes, we build roads and maintain
infrastructure. However, what we
really do is impact the life of every
individual, in big ways, and in more
personal ways, each and every day,
24 hours a day.
I want to emphasize the “we” here.
VDOT would be nothing without
your work.
-D.E. Chris Hall
I am proud to serve alongside
each of you.
