A Resolution of the Board of
Supervisors Directing the County Administrator to Schedule a
Public Hearing on a Proposed Request to the Commonwealth
Transportation Board (CTB) to Examine Restricting
Through-Truck Traffic on Hopewell Road / Waterfall Road,
State Route 601 in the Scott Magisterial District
|
|
Topic Description: |
|
Virginia Route 601 is
designated Hopewell Road in Fauquier County and Waterfall
Road in Prince William County. That Route has become a cut
through for heavy truck traffic between State Route 15 and
US Route 66. Hopewell Road was not designed or intended to
serve heavy truck traffic. Nor is Hopewell Road recommended
for trucks due to its design. As a result, heavy truck
traffic causes safety problems on Hopewell Road. The Prince
William County Board of Supervisors has requested that the
Commonwealth Transportation Board examine restricting truck
traffic on State Route 601, Hopewell Road and Waterfall
Road, between State Route 15 and US Route 66. The Prince
William County Board of Supervisors has requested that the
Board of Supervisors of Fauquier County also make the same
request. Should truck traffic be restricted, an alternative
route exists via James Madison Highway – State Route 15, to
Interstate 66 West, to Exit 31 Hopewell Road. The alternate
route is depicted on the attached map. Section 46.2-809 of
the Code of Virginia mandates that a public hearing must be
held by the local governing body to receive public comments
on restricting through-truck traffic on any part of a
secondary highway. The resolution, if adopted, would direct
the County Administrator to schedule the required public
hearing.
