TC 05-04-15 Meeting Agenda
Item 1: HB2 Classification Discussion
This is a continuation of the discussion started at the April 27, 2015 transportation committee
meeting. The most recent Secretary of Transportation presentation to the Commonwealth
Transportation Board is attached. Staff is seeking a recommendation to the Board of
Supervisors.
Item 2: Interstate, Primary, and Secondary Road Plan Update
Attached, please find last year’s adopted Interstate, Primary, and Secondary Road Plans. Staff is
in the process of updating these for your consideration at the meeting. Normally the update
would be included, however with HB2 and HB1887 implementation the release of the expected
funding was delayed so staff is working through that.

INTERSTATE ROAD IMPROVEMENT PLAN
for
FREDERICK COUNTY, VIRGINIA
Frederick County Transportation Committee: 04/28/2014
Frederick County Planning Commission: 05/07/2014
Frederick County Board of Supervisors: 05/14/2014
I-81 Improvements:
Provide additional travel lanes on the main line, collector-distributor lanes adjacent to the
main line, modifications to existing interchange areas, and develop new interchange areas
and bridge crossings of the main line as recommended by the WinFred MPO Long Range
Plan.
In addition, as the State continues to work toward an ultimate plan for the I-81 widening,
the County of Frederick continues to support the study of Eastern Route 37 as a potential
corridor on new location as an alternative for that effort.
Moreover, the County of Frederick supports exploration of the potential for rail
transportation as a component of the Interstate 81 Corridor improvements.
A) Progress to Phase 1 of the FHWA approved interchange modification to Exit 310
(as illustrated on map as priority A)
B) Relocate Exit 307 further south to alleviate existing and future congestion on
Route 277. There is an urgent need to begin increased study of this project.
(as illustrated on map as priority B)
C) Widen I-81 from Fairfax Pike to Route 37 North. This should include the
relocation of the 277 Interchange.
From: Route 277, Exit 307
To: Route 37 North, Exit 310
(as illustrated on map as priority C)
D) Widen Remainder of I-81 in Frederick County
From: West Virginia line
To: Warren County line
(as illustrated on map as priority D)
E) Spot Improvements on I-81 in Frederick County. Provide spot improvements at
various interchanges to increase capacity and/or enhance safety for the motoring
public.

PRIMARY ROAD IMPROVEMENT PLAN
for
FREDERICK COUNTY, VIRGINIA
Frederick County Transportation Committee: 04/28/2014
Frederick County Planning Commission: 05/07/2014
Frederick County Board of Supervisors: 05/14/2014
1) Route 37 Bypass
A. Route 37 - Phase 1
Initiate final engineering and design, acquire right-of-way, and establish a construction
phase schedule for the southern segment of the Route 37 Eastern Bypass from Interstate
1-81 to Front Royal Pike (Route 522 South).
(As illustrated on map as priority 1A)
B. Route 37 - Phase 2
Initiate final engineering and design, acquire right-of-way, and establish a construction
phase schedule for the preferred alternative between existing Route 37 around Stonewall
Industrial Park and Route 7.
(As illustrated on map as priority 1B)
C. Route 37 - Phase 3
Initiate final engineering and design, acquire right-of-way, and establish a construction
phase schedule for the preferred alternative between Route 7 and Route 522.
(As illustrated on map as priority 1C)
2) Route 277 (East of Stephens City)
From: I-81/Route 277/Route 647 Intersection (East of Stephens City)
To: Route 340/Route 522 South Intersection (East of Double Toll Gate)
Improve to a four lane divided roadway with County staff to work with site developers to
acquire dedicated right-of-way and achieve grading, drainage, and construction
improvements in conjunction with development projects which occur along the corridor
until such time that funding is available for construction.
Establish a construction schedule for the phased improvement of Fairfax Pike (Route
277).
Program funding for the completion of right-of-way acquisition and construction of each
phase as described above.
3) Route 11 (North and South of Winchester)
A) Establish an Urban Divided Four Lane System
From: Southern limits of the City of Winchester
To: 0.4 miles south of intersection of Route 37 South, Exit 310
(As illustrated on map as priority 3A)
B) Establish an Urban Divided Six Lane System
From: Northern limits of the City of Winchester
To: Intersection of Merchant Street
(As illustrated on map as priority 3B)
C) Establish an Urban Divided Four Lane System
From: Intersection of Merchant Street
To: West Virginia line
(As illustrated on map as priority 3C)
4) South Frederick County Parkway
From: Relocated Exit 307
To: Intersection with Route 277 approximately 1 Mile west of the intersection of
Route 277 and Route 522
This is a planned new roadway with limited access points serving a mixture of
predominantly commercial and industrial development.
There is need to study this project in conjunction with the Exit 307 relocation and
planning for Route 277 improvements noted in item 3.
Phasing of this project is not yet clearly defined, however general phasing would be from
West to East with the clear first phase being from relocated Exit 307 to Warrior Dr.
(As illustrated on map as priority 4)
5) Commuter Park and Ride Lots
Establish a new park and ride facility along the Berryville Pike (Route 7) corridor.
Work with the Northern Shenandoah Valley Regional Commission to determine
appropriate locations for park and ride facilities at other strategic locations within
the County’s Urban Development Area. For Park and Ride locations in Frederick
County the primary goal should be that they are situated in such a manner that
they reduce traffic in Frederick County in addition to adjacent localities.

HARDSURFACE ROAD IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS
2014/2015 through 2019/2020
Hardsurface road improvement projects provide impervious resurfacing and reconstruction of
non-hardsurfaced secondary roads. Hardsurface improvement projects are prioritized by an
objective rating system, which considers average daily traffic volumes; occupied structures;
physical road conditions including geometrics, drainage, and accident reports; school bus
routing; and the time that project requests have been on the Secondary Road Improvement
Plan.

Note: Project ratings are updated only when funding is available to promote projects to the scheduled
list. No new funding was available this year so ratings are not updated and new projects have been
placed at the end of the list. In the future when ratings are updated they will likely move up on the list.
