Covington: Park-and-Ride Lot at Cushing Road and I-66 Ready by July 2013

Posted

Brentsville District Supervisor Wally S. Covington announced that a new 433-space park-and-ride lot at Cushing Road and I-66 near the Prince William Parkway will be completed in July.

"Drivers will access the lot from Balls Ford Road via Cushing Road, and the lot will also have a direct on-ramp connection to eastbound I-66," Covington said.

The Potomac and Rappahannock Transportation Commission (PRTC) will offer bus service from the lot.

According to Covington, the commuter lot will include:

  • A bus loop and shelter for picking up and dropping off passengers
  • Lighting, sidewalks, crosswalks, benches, bicycle racks and lockers
  • Direct access for buses and high occupancy vehicle (HOV) traffic from the lot to the northbound Route 234 ramp to eastbound I-66
  • Paving Cushing Road and a new sidewalk on the western side to serve the lot
  • An HOV enforcement area for use by Virginia State Police
  • A new traffic signal at Balls Ford Road and Cushing Road

"Two signs will be installed along eastbound I-66 and Route 234 to inform drivers about the upcoming opening of the new lot," he said.

Construction on the project began spring 2012.
