NORTH STAFFORD, Va. — More of Garrisonville Road will soon be widened to six lanes.
The street serves as North Stafford’s main thoroughfare connecting nearly all of the neighborhoods in the area to Interstate 95, a major commuter route. The road will be widened from four to six lanes from Onville Road (where the road was widened from four to six lanes in 2008) to Shenandoah Drive, just past Eustace Road at a WaWa gas station.
Documents presented a meeting of the Stafford County Board of Supervisors detail more information about the project that is expected to cost $14 million:
Garrisonville Road improvements were designed in accordance with current [Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT)] requirements. Basic components of the design…include the widening of Garrisonville Road to a six-lane, divided roadway, which meets current VDOT standards. The design will also provide turn lanes where warranted, curb and gutter, and a 5-foot sidewalk for pedestrians, along both sides of Garrisonville Road.The project also includes storm water management facilities, and historical and environmental analysis to meet current state and local requirements. It is anticipated that this project will severely impact at least two parcels, possibly requiring the relocation of one commercial business and two residences.
Those two properties will have to be acquired by the state before construction moves ahead.
“The project has the potential to impact one business near the intersection of Barrett Heights Road and one or two residences located on the south side of Garrisonville Road east of Dorothy Lane,” said Stafford County spokeswoman Shannon Howell. “The Department of Public Works, in coordination with our engineers…will coordinate the acquisition of the properties. There is a potential to assist with business relocation and the expenses of business relocation as part of the acquisition process.”
Construction on the project is slated to begin in January and is slated to take 18 months, said Howell.
“The average daily vehicle count on Route 610 is 74,000 vehicles per day — that is the segment between Travis Lane and Interstate 95, which is the busiest segment,” stated VDOT spokeswoman Kelly Hannon in an email.
