Stafford to pay $1.5M to realign section of Centreport Parkway

Stafford will be moving forward with a $1.5 million project to realign a section of Centreport Parkway, near Ramoth Church Road.

As part of the project, the road will be realigned at the intersection of Centreport Parkway and Ramoth Church Road, shifting it 250 feet to the west, according to the county website. Additionally, there will be new asphalt pavement that will connect the roadway.

Funding for the project came from Stafford County’s Secondary Six Year Plan and funding from the state, said Public Information Officer Shannon Howell.

“Currently, the northern most section of Centreport Parkway is located within a public access easement.  The project will reconstruct approximately 500’ of roadway onto state-owned right of way and widen Centreport Parkway to provide dedicated left and right turn lanes onto Ramoth Church Road.  A right turn lane from Ramoth Church Road onto Centreport Parkway will also be constructed as part of this project,” said Howell.

Howell also states that construction will likely be started in June, and be completed early next year. 

During construction, the parkway will remain open normally, while the realigned section is being completed. 

According to Howell, drivers may see some lane closures on Ramoth Church Road between 9 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, while the right turn lane on Ramoth Church Road is being constructed. 

There may also be some infrequent lane closures on Centreport Parkway when the new section of the road is tied in to the existing parkway.
