Route 294 and old bridge road intersection

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded a Formula Grant of $472,981.00 on July 17, 2025, under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) to support transportation infrastructure improvements at the Route 294 and Old Bridge Road intersection in Prince William County, Virginia. The project delivers comprehensive roadway realignment and intersection improvements, including the reconfiguration of Prince William Parkway as a six-lane roadway with a raised median and the realignment of Old Bridge Road as a four-lane roadway. Infrastructure enhancements incorporate pedestrian and multimodal transportation accommodations, consisting of a five-foot sidewalk on the south side and a ten-foot trail on the north side, alongside access management features, turn lanes, and pedestrian crossings to improve traffic flow and safety at the intersection.

The award was administered through the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) as the primary grant recipient, with Prince William County Government's Office of Housing & Community Development serving as the sub-grantee responsible for local project implementation. The project scope also includes the installation of private stormwater management facilities to address environmental and drainage requirements. These infrastructure improvements align with FHWA's broader objectives under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act to enhance highway safety, support multimodal connectivity, and improve transportation infrastructure at critical intersections across Virginia.
