The document summarizes a project to widen a 2-lane road to 4-lanes over 1.1 miles between Fullerton Road and Delong Drive in Fairfax County. The $17.8 million project will add sidewalks, bike lanes, traffic signals, drainage and utilities to accommodate future traffic demands and reduce congestion. Design changes were made to minimize property impacts, including shifting the alignment to avoid impacting an apartment community center and pool. $1.3 million in funding was received for design, but additional funds are needed for right-of-way acquisition and construction.
