McIntire Road Extended is the name given to the City of Charlottesville's portion of the Meadowcreek Parkway. It is a project listed on the MPO's Transportation Improvement Program.
Goals
The project's stated purpose is to:
- Improve traffic flow between Rio Road (Route 631) and Route 250
- Provide more direct access to and from the Charlottesville downtown area
City's portion and requirements
The Meadowcreek Parkway project was split to allow both county and city jurisdictions to accrue separate pools of money for the road.
One of the conditions of City Council is that the road cannot be built without a grade-separated interchange at its intersection with Route 250. That project is currently going through the design process.
Status
VDOT advertised the project for construction bids on December 8, 2009. Firms have until January 27, 2010 to submit a bid. However, the Army Corps of Engineers has not yet completed its Section 106 review. VDOT will not award a bit until that process is complete[1].
Project History
- October 1, 2007: City Council grants construction easement to VDOT
- July 16, 2009: Army Corps of Engineers ceases its evaluation of the project on grounds that the road had no southern terminus[2].
See Meadowcreek Parkway for a full planning history.
