Paving for a road / highway in Woodbridge, Virginia. Conceptual plans call for paving for a road / highway.

Proposed plans to extend Van Buren Road on new alignment from its existing termini at the intersection with Dumfries Road (Route 234) north for approximately 2.5 miles to a portion of existing Van Buren Road directly south of Cardinal Drive, for a total length of 2.7 miles between intersections. The project area is located in the southeastern region of Prince William County, Virginia parallel and west of Interstate 95. The project would construct a four-lane divided urban collector roadway, utilizing criteria for a 40 mile per hour roadway. Construction of a 10-foot wide shared-use path and a 5-foot wide sidewalk would be included to provide non-motorized transportation alternatives. The typical section for these improvements generally varies from 102 feet to 105 feet along the proposed corridor and includes curb and gutter and a raised median. Wider portions of the roadway are provided for turn lanes and entrances to other roadways and private entrances. The project would also include construction of an approximately 235-foot bridge spanning Powell’s Creek perpendicular to the waterway, as well as associated stormwater management facilities. As of June 17, 2024, per owner, they have only budget to cover the engineering phase for this project. Design has not yet begun, but when they do start, design will take about 2 years. *Project information, including timeline and contacts, has been obtained through public sources.
