For years, the shared sidewalk on the south side of Lee Highway has ended abruptly with a ditch.
But a planned bike/pedestrian path on the highway just south of the Vienna Metro station could finally bridge that divide and make the sidewalks more walkable.
At a meeting tonight (Tuesday), Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) is scheduled to discuss plans to complete missing segments of a shared-use path on the southern side of Lee Highway between Vaden Drive and Nutley Street. The path aims to improve safety and accessibility for bicyclists and pedestrians near the Fairlee neighborhood.
The $1.3 million project is being funded through the Transform I-66 Outside the Beltway project.
Design approval for the project is scheduled for this fall, with construction beginning summer 2021.
The meeting is scheduled for 6:30 at Fairhill Elementary School (3001 Chichester Lane) with a presentation starting at 7 p.m.
