U.S. 1 Widening Scores Low in 1st Round Funding Review

WOODBRIDGE, Va. Improvements to Fairfax County Parkway and Interstate 395 south scored highly on regional wish list of needed traffic improvements.

A total of 32 transportation projects went through a pre-qualification funding screening, and the results have been accepted by Northern Virginia Transportation Authority – the government agency that will dole out some $200 million for highway improvements in Northern Virginia. The funds will come from the landmark transportation improvement bill signed into law in 2013 by then Gov. Robert F. McDonnell.

Improvements to Fairfax and Loudoun County parkways scored 78 and 61, respectively, out of 100 possible points. Improvements to Godwin Drive in Manassas scored 53, and widening U.S. 1 in both Woodbridge and Dumfries scored lower on the scale each netting a 41 and 48, respectively.
