Studies

Join VDOT for an information meeting June 3 at the Hylton Performing Arts Center in Manassas to learn the facts and current status of the North-South Corridor Master Plan Study, the proposed Bi-County Parkway, improving access to the Western side of Dulles Airport, and the proposed Manassas National Battlefield Park Bypass. See the ad for details.

About the Study

In November 2005, the Commonwealth Transportation Board (CTB) approved the location for a new 10.4-mile north-south transportation link that would connect Manassas with the Dulles corridor.

The location of the new road would be north of Interstate 66,  from the I-66 and Route 234 interchange to Route 50 in Loudoun County.

This is the West Two (CD) alternative analyzed in the draft environmental impact statement (DEIS).

The next steps in the process is the completion of the final environmental impact statement (FEIS), which:

• Documents the action of the CTB
• Responds to comments received on the DEIS
• Addresses measures to mitigate impacts

The FEIS is followed by a record of decision by the Federal Highway Administration. The FEIS is approved by the Federal Highway Administration and is expected to be completed in summer 2013.
