The county portion is one of three parts of the Meadowcreek Parkway, currently under construction, with an anticipated completion date of October 2011.
Project Details
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.
