FABB Meeting March 15 - I-66 Trail Update

The next FABB meeting will be on March 15, 2023 at 7 PM. We will have a presentation on the new I-66 Parallel Trail outside the Beltway. Our guests include Michelle Holland, VDOT Transform 66 and Megaprojects Media Contact, and Yuquing Xiong, a Senior Transportation Planner representing FCDOT Special Projects Division.

Register for the March 15 Zoom meeting.

From VDOT:

66 Parallel Trail Nearing Completion; Opening Anticipated to Begin in Spring

The new shared-use path being built along I-66 as part of the Transform 66 Project is expected to open in sections beginning in spring 2023. VDOT and FAM Construction have begun safety inspections and punch list walk-thrus in some sections in Vienna and Oakton. More significant construction activities remain in some other sections, to include paving and adding lighting in tunnels. Although some sections of trail appear nearly complete, VDOT reminds the public that it is not yet open for use.

The VDOT project team will provide an update on construction progress and trail opening at FABB’s March 15 meeting.

The Transform 66 Project is constructing 11 miles of new shared-use path as part of its project. The new trail will combine with other VDOT and Fairfax County projects to form the 66 Parallel Trail, stretching from Gallows Road in Dunn Loring to Bull Run Park in Centreville (future). The Transform 66 Project is also constructing bike lanes and shared-use path connections at interchanges along the corridor, including grade-separated crossings at the Nutley Street, Route 123, Route 50, and Route 28 interchanges.
