PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTY, Va. — The plan for a Manassas Battlefield Bypass is simple: get the traffic out of the national park and off of hallowed ground.
The highway was approved in 1988 but is still awaiting funding. If it’s built, it would alleviate congestion on a 2-lane portion of U.S. 29 through the Manassas National Battlefield Park, taking cars out of the civil war battleground and routing them instead along a new limited-access highway that would run from the intersection of Va. 234 bypass (Prince William Parkway) and Interstate 66, and then north along the existing Pageland Lane to Va. 234 (Sudley Road) in Catharpin, and then along what would be a new portion of road along Bull Run Post Office Road to reconnect drivers with U.S. 29 in Fairfax County.
