STARS Hoadly Road Study

The Hoadly Road STARS study is a collaborative effort between the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) and Prince William County (PWC) to evaluate transportation needs and develop recommendations for a 4.7-mile section of Route 642 (Hoadly Road). The study location begins at the intersection of Route 234 (Dumfries Road) and Hoadly Road in the PWC Coles District and ends at the intersection of Hoadly Road and Route 294 (Prince William Parkway) in the PWC Neabsco District. The study also includes the two adjacent intersections on Dumfries Road. The primary objective of this STARS (Strategically Targeted Affordable Roadway Solutions) study is to enhance traffic operations and safety on Hoadly Road while addressing the needs of various transportation modes, primarily bicycle, pedestrian, and transit. The alternatives proposed in this study will potentially mitigate the additional traffic from planned developments along the Hoadly Road corridor, which will bring additional traffic demand.

Please complete this brief survey to inform the study team of how you use the Hoadly Road corridor and whether you have any concerns or suggestions for the corridor based on how it operates today.

For additional background, Hoadly Road is a four-lane roadway classified as a minor arterial with an Average Annual Daily Traffic (AADT) ranging from 12,000 to 25,000 vehicles per day (vpd) as of 2023 and a posted speed limit of 50 mph. The corridor attracts a high volume of daily traffic, including various multimodal modes of transportation.

The study will evaluate existing and future transportation conditions along the study corridor. VDOT is serving as the project manager for the study with JMT as a consulting partner for developing the study, supporting analysis, and improvement concepts. Final study recommendations will be considered by the County for advancement through state transportation funding programs.
