Northern virginia - route 294 and old bridge road intersection improvement

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded the Virginia Department of Transportation $527,019 on July 8, 2025, under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) to fund preliminary engineering and design services for intersection improvements in Prince William County, Virginia. This Formula Grant supports the development of comprehensive design plans for realigning Prince William Parkway as a six-lane roadway and Old Bridge Road as a four-lane roadway at their intersection. The project scope includes detailed engineering specifications for primary through-movement lanes with 12-foot widths, a raised median, pedestrian infrastructure (5-foot sidewalk on the south side and 10-foot trail on the north side), access management, turn lanes, intersection improvements, pedestrian crossings, and stormwater management facilities.

This award represents typical Highway Planning and Construction program activity, which supports state departments of transportation in advancing transportation infrastructure projects through federal financial assistance. The preliminary engineering phase funded by this grant will establish the technical foundation and design specifications necessary for potential subsequent construction phases, reflecting the program's emphasis on comprehensive planning and design before implementation of roadway improvements.
