The county portion is one of three parts of the [[Meadowcreek Parkway]], currently under construction, with an anticipated completion date of October 2011.
 
When complete, this portion of the parkway will be 1.3 miles long, running from [[Melbourne Road]] to East [[Rio Road]]. It will run north around the [[Charlottesville High School]] athletic facilities and continue parallel with the railroad tracks. After crossing [[Meadow Creek]], the road will shift to the east around the [[Charlottesville Albemarle Technical Education Center]] {CATEC} and join Rio Road just south of the school.
