Judge Dan Robinson set March 16, 1998 to determine if a special master is needed to enforce the 1982 order to equalize funding, amid ongoing legislative action and debates over the master plan’s adequacy.

Court Hear Smart Road Challenge Near Blacksburg
Environmentalists urged the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to halt a 5.8 mile smart road project from I 81 to Blacksburg as an environmental study relied on plant and bird data over a decade old. The project, costing over 100 million, aims to monitor weather and traffic with embedded sensors for Virginia Tech testing, and would shorten travel time between Roanoke and Blacksburg with first two lanes opening in 2002.
