Prince William Times: “Located about a mile from the nearest residential areas, Prince William County’s first pedestrian bridge, which recently opened as part of a new intersection on Va. 234, might seem oddly placed.
The area is not known for foot traffic. But the $12 million bridge connects the Va. 234 bike trail — one of the most used in the county — to the Liberia Avenue commercial area, which is why it is needed, county officials say.”
