Supervisors Consider Removing Bi-County Parkway from Comp Plan

Prince William County
“The controversial Bi-County Parkway will remain on Prince William County’s long-term comprehensive plan – at least for now. The proposed 10-mile, four-lane road that proponents say would make it easier to get to Loudoun County by extending Va. 234 north to U.S. 50 has faced strong opposition from residents who argue the project will spoil the now-protected western edge of Manassas National Battlefield Park, disrupt family farms and invite cargo truck traffic from Dulles International Airport.

Opponents have lobbied the county Board of Supervisors hard over the last several months to take a stand against the estimated $440 million state project. They achieved some success in October when Supervisor Maureen Caddigan, R-Potomac, and Mike May, R-Occoquan, offered separate resolutions aimed at removing the Bi-County Parkway from the county’s long-term comprehensive plan.”
