Potomac national heritage scenic trail (PNHST) GAP study

The Virginia Department of Transportation received a $750,000 project grant award from the Federal Highway Administration's Federal Lands Access Program (FLAP) on September 9, 2022. The grant will fund development of concept plans for three gaps along the Potomac Heritage National Scenic Trail in Prince William County, Virginia. Specifically, the department will create new design authorization to develop concept plans connecting the Town of Occoquan to the Virginia Railway Express station in Woodbridge, from Dumfries to Prince William Forrest Park, and from Prince William Forrest Park to the National Museum of the Marine Corps at Quantico Marine Corps Base. The concept plans will supplement state and local resources to improve transportation access within and adjacent to federal lands, consistent with the goals of the FLAP program.
