NORTH STAFFORD, Va. — The plans have been on the books for years. Now officials want your input on widening a nearly three-mile stretch of U.S. 1 between North Stafford and Triangle.
A public meeting is scheduled for Thursday, May 10, at Hilldrup Moving and Storage in North Stafford, right where the eventual construction would take place, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. The Federal Highway Administration as well as local officials are expected to make a presentation at 7 p.m. outlining a preliminary engineering and design project to widen the four-lane highway between Fuller/Joplin roads in Triangle to Boswell’s Corner in North Stafford.
The widening efforts come as the most recent round of BRAC military base relocations moved 3,000 military and contracting personnel to Quantico in September. Following the move, officials in Stafford County said the relocation had minimal impacts on traffic in the region.
The widening project will be funded $800,000 grant. Those who cannot attend are encouraged to send their comments.
