The City of Charlottesville and the Virginia Department of Transportation is currently planning on replacing a bridge that carries Jefferson Park Avenue Extended over the Norfolk-Southern railroad line that travels south from Charlottesville to Lynchburg. The new bridge will be 67 feet wide with sidewalks and bike lanes on both of the bridge. Currently, VDOT crews are relocating utilities. The project is expected to go to advertisement in November 2009 with construction slated to begin in the spring of 2010Transportation Improvement Program[1].. The total cost estimate for the project is $8.4 million.
Neighborhood concerns
During the planning process, members of the Fry's Spring Neighborhood Association were concerned that VDOT's original plans were for a bridge they said was too large and would increase cut-through traffic[2]. c
