As part of a redistricting plan from Prince William County, the four-lane road would split the River Oaks neighborhood in Woodbridge, putting a portion of the neighborhood now in the Woodbridge District into in the Dumfries District.
The nearby Harbor Station development would also be placed in the Dumfries District as part of the plan.
Gov. Robert F. McDonnell vetoed the redistricting plan, and officials have said it is the first time in 40 years that a redistricting plan put forth by the Senate did not receive bi-partisan support.
The governor says the plan does not comply with state and federal laws, and that it could not pass mandates set forth in the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
