Marshall: Bi-County Parkway ‘Cannot Stand on its Own’

MANASSAS, Va. — At a public meeting held this month about the proposed Bi-County Parkway that would link Prince William and Loudoun counties, Delegate Bob Marshall, R-Prince William, Manassas Park, said he’s not having very much luck hearing back from transportation officials in Richmond after posing questions about the roadway.

Marshall has been critical of the proposed roadway at various public meeting.

“This road cannot stand on its own. It’s a political road for developers that are paying back politicians who have been getting money,” said Marshall.

The Bi-County Parkway is apart of Virginia’s North-South Corridor of Statewide Significance — a 45-mile transportation corridor from Interstate 95 in Dumfries to I-66 in Manassas, to Dulles Airport and ultimately to Va. 7 in Loudoun County — where a new limited access highway could be built to provide better connectivity to the airport. As currently projected, the roadway would traverse a portion of Manassas National Battlefield.
