VDOT assesses Route 236 improvements
The Virginia Department of Transportation is considering several improvements to Little River Turnpike (Route 236) in Annandale.
Potential options include innovative intersection enhancements at Backlick Road, a pedestrian hybrid beacon at Minor Lane, raised medians between Markham Street and John Marr Drive, a traffic signal and crosswalks at Green Spring Road, and improved traffic flow from eastbound Route 236 to Interstate 395.
This effort is part of a STARS (Strategically Targeted Affordable Roadway Solutions) study. The STARS study will assess the need for operational, safety, and accessibility improvements along Little River Turnpike between the Annandale beltway exit and I-395 in Lincolnia.
The community is invited to learn more and ask questions at a virtual meeting Thursday, May 12, at 7 p.m. Access the meeting on Zoom here.
Submit comments during the meeting or by May 23 via a comment form on the project website.
The $195,000 study is expected to be completed this summer.
