This is not true. Due to the Byrd Road Act of 1932, the vast majority of roads in Virginia are maintained by the state directly.

>The Byrd Road Act was an Act of Assembly passed in February 1932 by the Virginia General Assembly. Named for former Governor Harry F. Byrd, the legislation was originally presented as measure to relieve the financial pressures of the Great Depression upon the counties, as the state offered to take over responsibility and control of most county roads, creating the Virginia Secondary Roads System. Under state auspices, much was accomplished in improving the state's roads, most of which were not hard-surfaced when the system was created.
