Site work and paving for a road / highway in Blacksburg, Virginia. Conceptual plans call for site work for a road / highway; and for paving for a road / highway.

This project will fund the design and construction of a trail adjacent to Meadowbrook Drive that will connect the Heritage Park Trail/Parking Area along Meadowbrook Drive to the proposed trail system to be constructed on two properties currently owned by the New River Land Trust. The plans for the New River Land Trust properties include the construction of mountain biking, hiking, and horse trails that will connect to the National Forest trail system. These properties will eventually be donated to the Town. The necessary greenway easements have been obtained from the private property owners. This trail will be constructed adjacent to Meadowbrook Drive and consist of a 10 foot wide asphalt path and boardwalk. The construction will begin at the Heritage Park Trail and extend to the intersection of Meadowbrook Drive and Glade Road. There are known wetlands along this location and in order to cross these areas in an environmentally-sensitive manner, boardwalk construction is proposed. If grants are unavailable, the project may be deferred. Project is included Town of Blacksburg FY 2023-2027 CIP. As of August 11, 2022, further details regarding design and construction have not been identified. However, construction is expected to take place in 2023-2024. *Project information has been obtained through a public capital improvement plan (CIP).
