Project Pipeline S. Military Highway/George Washington Highway Study (HR-23-07)

Project Pipeline is a performance-based planning program to identify cost-effective solutions to multimodal transportation needs in Virginia. Through this planning process, projects and solutions may be considered for funding through programs, including SMART SCALE, revenue sharing, interstate funding and others.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the operational and safety issues identified at the intersection of South Military Highway (Route 13/Route 460) and George Washington Highway (Route 17), with a focus on providing enhanced bicycle and transit access, transportation demand management, safety improvements, and congestion mitigation. The intersection has a high number of angle crashes and three pedestrian crashes were reported between 2018 and 2022. One cyclist fatality occurred in 2019. The objective of this study is to identify cost-effective preferred improvement alternatives that address the documented needs.
