Description
In 1994, the General Assembly directed VDOT to conduct a complete and
comprehensive study of the US Route 1 corridor in Fairfax and Prince William
Counties. The purpose of this study was to inventory existing transportation
related features in the corridor, document existing conditions and deficiencies,
recommend short term improvements, project future travel demand, and develop and
evaluate alternatives to address transportation needs while accommodating
county-specific economic development goals. The Corridor Study was completed in
1997.
In 1998, the General Assembly requested VDOT to conduct a
centerline design study to determine rights-of-way required by the recommended
improvements. This Location Study incorporates the objectives of the centerline
design study with environmental analyses and documentation of potential impacts.
Status
Three public hearings were held to show the concepts developed by the study
team and to receive comments from the general public. A resolution was passed by the CTB on April 15, 2004 approving
Lorton Option1.
