The Fairfax County Park Authority will soon begin construction on the next segment of the Pohick Stream Valley Trail between Burke Station Park and Hillside Road.
The contractor, AP Construction in Annandale, Virginia, is scheduled to mobilize on site on or around March 8, 2021, weather permitting. Contingent on the weather, this project will continue throughout the year with completion anticipated by the end of 2021. Approximately 2,200 linear feet of 8-foot-wide asphalt trail and one fiberglass bridge will be constructed. The project will connect the existing trail network within Burke Station Park to Hillside Road near Old Keene Mill Road. This connection will provide increased access to recreational facilities and the Virginia Railway Express Rolling Road station. It will serve both pedestrians and cyclists and create approximately 2 miles of fully accessible continuous stream valley trail from Burke Lake Road to Hillside Road for persons of all abilities.
