Franklin park to town of purcellville trail

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded $1.25M to the Virginia Department of Transportation on July 8, 2025, under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) to provide preliminary engineering services for the Franklin Park to Town of Purcellville Trail project in Loudoun County, Virginia. The project encompasses design and planning activities for a 10-foot-wide shared-use path extending from Franklin Park Drive northward to Main Street (Business Route 7), with integrated pedestrian safety features including a raised concrete median barrier and rectangular rapid flashing beacons at the Main Street intersection crossing.

This project grant supports transportation infrastructure planning and design activities consistent with the Highway Planning and Construction program's emphasis on multimodal transportation network improvements and safety enhancements. The preliminary engineering phase will establish technical specifications and detailed plans necessary for subsequent construction phases of the active transportation corridor.
