Short-Term Recommendations From VDOT 2015 Study

Route 28 Corridor Feasibility Study

Previous Study Short-Term Recommendations from VDOT 2015 Study

Route 28 Corridor Feasibility Study

VDOT completed a corridor safety and traffic

• perations study on Route 28 in 2015 from

Liberia Avenue to I-66. The report identified low-cost, short-term improvements to address congestion and safety improvements along Route 28. Many recommendations have been completed and others are underway.

GOAL Study Goals and Objectives

Route 28 Corridor Feasibility Study

The project goals for the Route 28 Corridor Feasibility Study are to identify long-term infrastructure improvements that will improve travel times and network reliability within the Route 28 Corridor through Prince William County, the City of Manassas and City of Manassas Park and develop a plan to implement these improvement project(s).

Route 28 Corridor Feasibility Study

Project Development Process

Step 1: Route 28 Corridor Feasibility Study

• Subject of tonight’s meeting
• Includes development and analysis of alternatives to meet study

goals and objectives

• Identification of a highest ranked alternative

Step 2: Complete National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) Process.

• Preparation of an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) in

accordance with FHWA implementing regulations

• Additional opportunities for public input
• Selection of a Preferred Alternative

Step 3: Final Design of the Preferred Alternative Step 4: Construction

Existing and Future Traffic Conditions

Route 28 Corridor Feasibility Study

Existing Conditions

Route 28 Corridor Feasibility Study

Route 28 has

• 2 continuous through lanes in each

direction from Godwin Drive to Route 29

• Additional through lanes around

Manassas Drive

• 24 signals between Godwin Drive and

Route 29 Observed Peak Hours

• AM peak hour (7:45 – 8:45 a.m.)
• PM peak hour (5:30 – 6:30 p.m.)

Route 28 Corridor Feasibility Study

2040 No-Build Alternative

• Maintains existing lane configurations along Route 28
• Includes Fairfax Design Build Project
• 4 lanes in each direction from Old Centreville Road to the Prince William

County line

• Includes transportation projects from 2016 MWCOG Constrained Long

Range Plan

• I-66 Improvements
• Extension of New Braddock Road across I-66
• Includes 2040 MWCOG population and employment growth forecasts

Existing and Future Traffic Conditions

Route 28 Average Daily Traffic (ADT)

• Historic Downtown:

2016 21,300 2040 No-Build 29,200

• Between Liberia Ave and Manassas Dr: 2016 46,000

2040 No-Build 60,800

• Bull Run:

2016 57,300 2040 No-Build 76,200

1.4% Annual Growth Rate

Travel Times

Route 28 Corridor Feasibility Study

Traffic Operations

* Travel time in the northbound direction remains essentially the same compared to the existing conditions due to the Route 28 widening in Fairfax County mitigating the northbound delays. Southbound delays increase due to no-build condition south of Compton Road. 48 46* 19 23 22 37 27 54

Levels of Service (LOS) Results

Route 28 Corridor Feasibility Study

Traffic Operations

• Intersections in study area operating over capacity (LOS F)* in

either AM or PM peak hour: 2016 - 4 out of 29 – 14% 2040 No-Build - 16 out of 29 – 55%

* Queuing along the corridor causes additional intersections to operate at capacity (LOS E) Queueing
