Prince William transportation officials will spend $700,000 to improve the pedestrian crossing at a busy Woodbridge intersection.
New sidewalk ramps will be installed at the busy intersection of Smoketown Road, Opitz Boulevard, and Gideon Drive. The ramps will make it easier for pedestrians to cross the six-lane street to provide better access to Potomac Mills mall, said Rick Canizales, with the Prince William County Department of Transportation.
A total of $545,000 in funding for the project will come from the state, from Virginia’s Transportation Alternatives Program. The remainder of the funds will come from the Occoquan District and Neabsco District supervisors offices.
Potomac Mills mall has 1.6 million square feet of retail space and is one of Virginia’s busiest shopping destinations.
