The City has been awarded $9.25M in VDOT SmartScale funding for this project. This funding is currently available.
This proposed project is construction of 1,850 linear feet of new sidewalk as well as improvements to bus stop facilities along the west side of Chain Bridge Road (Route 123) between Taba Cove and Warwick Ave. Upon completion, this project will provide complete and continuous pedestrian access and upgraded bus stop accommodations along Chain Bridge Road pad between two local Activity Centers (Old Town Fairfax to Northfax). Currently, there is no sidewalk along most of the west side of this busy corridor nor are there accessible or inviting bus stop amenities. The bus stops will be improved according to the City’s Bus Stop Design Guidelines.
This project is included in the City’s Two Year Transportation Program in FY2020-2021, which is a list of priority projects to pursue for funding consideration in the upcoming round of applications for outside transportation funding. This project was included in the Two Year Program as it advances many of the goals in the City’s 2035 Comprehensive Plan.

SmartScale is a method of scoring transportation projects in the Commonwealth of Virginia. Projects are scored in the categories of safety, congestion mitigation, accessibility, environmental quality, economic development, and land use. Once the projects are scored they are then ranked and selected for funding by the Commonwealth Transportation Board. For more information about the SmartScale process, visit the SmartScale website.
