Mr. Philip Daffin was an employee of the Virginia Department of Transportation having begun his VDOT career in 1940. Mr. Daffin faithfully served VDOT for more than 37 years before his untimely passing while at work on August 24, 1978.
The Accomack County Board of Supervisors unanimously requested by resolution to recognize Mr. Daffin’s service to the Commonwealth, particularly Accomack County, in having the Route 13 Tasley Overpass be named in his honor. The Virginia Commonwealth Transportation Board unanimously approved the request and issued their own resolution officially naming the Route 13 Overpass in Tasley as the Philip M. Daffin Memorial Overpass.
