Project details
The Meadowcreek Parkway Interchange is an element in the development of the city's portion of the Meadowcreek Parkway. Preliminary engineering work is ongoing, with the selection of a final design alternative slated for early 2008. Costs for the project range between $33 to $37 million. The majority of funding comes from an appropriation of federal funds announced in 2005. This came from an earmark from Senator John Warner (R-VA).
The City of Charlottesville is overseeing the project.
The project's stated purpose is:
- To enhance transportation mobility for local residents
- To safely accommodate projected future traffic volumes
- To accommodate and enhance pedestrian and bicycle needs in the project area
