Description:

The proposed Van Buren Road North Extension project would extend Van Buren Road from its existing termini at the intersection with Dumfries Road (Rt. 234) north for approximately 2.5 miles to connect with the portion of Van Buren Road directly south of Cardinal Drive. The total length of the improved Van Buren Road would be approximately 2.7 miles. The project would construct a four-lane divided major collector 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 project would also include construction of a bridge over Powells Creek. The typical section for these improvements generally varies from 104 feet to 116 feet along the proposed corridor. The project area is located in southeastern Prince William County, Virginia, just west of I-95 between crossing roadways Cardinal Drive and Dumfries Road (Figure 1). The next phase of the project is currently funded by Northern Virginia Transportation Authority (NVTA) funds.
