The Prince William County Department of Transportation in collaboration with the Town of Dumfries will conduct a Virtual Information Meeting for the Route 1/Fraley Boulevard Widening (from Bradys Hill Road to Dumfries Road) from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM on Thursday, March 17, 2022. The event will be streamed live virtually through the link posted on the Prince William County Department of Transportation website at: https://www.pwcva.gov/department/transportation. Formal presentation will start at 6:30 PM and will review & highlight the major design updates to the project since the Design Public Hearing previously held by VDOT on October 18, 2018, with an intent to inform the public of design changes and improvements made as Prince William County took over administration of this project. The Design Improvements include reducing number of stormwater management facilities, reducing right of way impacts on affected parcels, improving access at several locations, enhanced bridge design, and other design upgrades. Online audience will have the opportunity to submit questions to be included in the Q&A portion of the meeting.

The proposed project will widen the existing northbound portion of Route 1 (Fraley Boulevard) from Bradys Hill Road (Rte. 1109) to Dumfries Road (Rte. 234) to a six-lane divided facility with a raised median to serve two-way traffic. The project will also provide 5-foot concrete sidewalk and a 10-foot shared-use path. The total project length is approximately 1.9 miles.

The purpose of this virtual information meeting is to ensure that the public is provided with an opportunity to both review and provide feedback on the proposed design improvements of the widening project. Tentative project schedule, potential property impacts, right of way acquisition procedures, and the project’s proposed improvements will be discussed at the meeting.

The public can review the Virtual Information Meeting plans and additional project documents including the NEPA environmental document on the Prince William County Department of Transportation website at https://www.pwcva.gov/department/transportation/current-road-projects.
