Project Schedule

• The trail detour was expected to open in December 2009 but final construction was delayed by heavy snow and freezing temperatures. The temporary detour now has been paved from the wayside shelter near Mile Marker 36 to Canongate Drive, and from the Canongate Drive cul-de-sac to the 4H driveway. From this point, trail users will resume use of the existing paved bike trail heading north. The detour will open on Monday, January 11, 2010.

Fionnuala Quinn of Fairfax Advocates for Better Bicycling (FABB) will conduct a FREE workshop designed to assist those who would like to play a constructive role and make suggestions for change during the design of new road facilities in Virginia. Learn how to engage with the public-hearing process and make the type of comments that can bring change.
