Status Update

A pedestrian underpass underneath U.S. 29 is one of several transformative projects called for in the Rio Road Small Area Plan.

This project supports the plan's vision of Conservation.

The specifications for the tunnel would confirm to rules that can be found in Appendix A of the VDOT Road Design Manual.

Description from plan

"Approximately 800 feet north of the Rio29 GSI, an existing culvert pipes a stream under Route 29. This could be a logical spot to add a bicycle and pedestrian underpass to provide an additional crossing of Route 29. If a tunnel is built, it should be well-lit and incorporate artwork, murals or light features to provide a safe and pleasant environment for walkers and cyclists."
