Trail project planned for McWhorter Place

McWhorter Place.

The Fairfax County Department of Transportation is planning to construct a trail on McWhorter Place in Annandale.

There will be a community meeting on the project May 25 in the cafeteria of Annandale High School. The agenda includes an open house with a display of proposed improvements at 7 p.m. and a presentation at 7:30 with time for questions and answers. 

The McWhorter Place trail is part of FCDOT’s six-year bike and pedestrian program. The $200,000 project involves two segments: a six-foot wide and approximately 65-foot long asphalt walkway connection between the eastern and western cul-de-sacs on McWhorter Place and a five-foot wide and approximately 60-foot long concrete sidewalk to close the existing missing sidewalk link along the western McWhorter Place cul-de-sac.

The project design is expected to be completed in July 2017, and construction should be finished in May 2018.
