First roads in Prince William County tapped for scenic byway status

PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTY, Va. —  Eight roads in Prince William County could become scenic byways.

The county’s Board of Supervisors will hold a public hearing at 2 p.m. Tuesday to discuss urging the state to issue a special scenic byway tag to the following roads:

— Waterfall Road, between the Fauquier County to just east of the intersection of Antioch Road in western Prince William County

— Antioch Road, from the intersection of Waterfall Road to just south of John Marshall Highway (Route 55)

— John Marshall Highway (Route 55), from Antioch Road to the Fauquier County line

— Aden Road, between Joplin and Nokesville roads

— Bristow Road, between Joplin and Nokesville roads

— Joplin Road, between Interstate 95 and Bristow Road

The Prince William Conservation Alliance has pushed for these designations to be given to these roads. The organization posted this on its website:

Virginia has more than 2,500 miles of Scenic Byways, including many miles in adjacent Fauquier County as well as Loudoun and Fairfax Counties. Prince William County currently has none.

Potomac Local emailed each Prince William County Supervisor asking them for a statement on this issue. So far, we’ve not heard from any elected official on this matter.

More information about state byways can be found on the Virginia Department of Transportation website.
