Study Background
The signalized intersection of US 522 (Front Royal Pike) at US 17/50 (Millwood Pike) and the
northbound entrance to I-81 is located in Frederick County, VA, just east of downtown
Winchester. The relocation of US 522 along a new alignment incorporating Prince Frederick
Drive was among the ancillary network improvements identified in the planning and
development of the I-81 Exit 313/US 50 improvements to mitigate existing congestion and
accommodate future development. Relocation of US 522 was included in the 2035 Frederick
County Comprehensive Plan and was also included in the Vision Plan for the Winchester
Frederick County Metropolitan Planning Organization (WinFred MPO) 2040 Metropolitan
Transportation Plan.
With traffic volumes at this intersection projected to exceed capacity in the near future,
Northern Shenandoah Valley Regional Commission (NSVRC) initiated a study in 2020 to
explore options for relocating the connection of US 522 at US 17/50 and thus reduce traffic
volumes at this intersection. The purpose of this phase of the study is to explore planning-
level realignment alternatives for US 522 south of US 17/50, building from previous studies
and through a limited public participation process, to confirm that any future alignment is
supportive of both transportation and economic development priorities. The intended
outcome of this study phase is a viable alternative developed in accordance with the MPO
planning process to advance for further analysis in a subsequent study phase. Figure 1 shows
a map of the study area for the US 522 Realignment Study.

This report presents the findings from the first phase of the study, which identified a
preferred alternative for the future alignment of a relocated US 522 connection to US 50
through a limited assessment and stakeholder input. As part of Phase 1, the study team
conducted the following activities:
› identified a preliminary set of alignments for the relocated section of US 522;
› developed high-level cost estimates for each alignment;
› assessed the preliminary alignments as part of a screening process that resulted in the
elimination of alignments deemed infeasible and yielded three viable candidate
alternatives;
› conducted public outreach through a digital survey; and
› selected a preferred alternative based on findings from impacts analysis, team workshops,
survey findings, and input from partner agencies.
The second phase of the US 522 Realignment Study will advance the preferred alternative
through capacity assessment, preliminary roadway design, phasing, and working with the
nearby Winchester Regional Airport to codify the preferred alternative.
The US 522 Realignment Study team was comprised of representatives from NSVRC,
Frederick County, the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT), and the consultant,
VHB. Throughout the first phase of the study, the study team coordinated with the
Winchester Regional Airport, Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), and the Virginia
Department of Aviation (VDOA) to assess potential impacts to the airport resulting from any
proposed roadway realignment scenarios. The City of Winchester also participated in the
process.
At the start of the project, the study team identified the following goals for the US 522
Realignment Study:
› Divert traffic to reduce congestion at the existing intersection of US 522, US 17/50, and I-
81 northbound ramp
› Limit or avoid impacts to Winchester Regional Airport, including the airport’s protection
areas
› Provide alignment alternatives that support future land-uses
› Solicit public feedback to raise awareness about the study, develop a viable alternative
vetted through the MPO planning process, ultimately yielding a community-supported
alternative.

Planning Considerations
Three elements in the study area were particularly important factors in the evaluation of
candidate alternatives and selection of a preferred alternative for the relocation of the US
522 connection at US 50.
› Future Land Use. Per the study goals, the team identified alternatives that had the
potential to enhance access in the study area and were supportive of development or
redevelopment.
› Winchester Regional Airport. This general aviation facility located just southeast of the
study area is a key consideration in the viability of any future roadway connection.
› Crossover Boulevard. Currently under construction, Crossover Boulevard will provide an
additional east-west connection across I-81 and has significant implications for
connectivity in the study area.
Future Land Use
While the northwest corner of the study area is developed, much of the remaining study area
has little or no active uses. The 2035 Frederick County Comprehensive Plan envisions
increased activity in the area in alignment with the Plan’s goals related to office and
industrial development that seeks to leverage the county’s key highway, air, rail, and inland
port assets. Some building turnover and shift of uses has occurred in recent years and
redevelopment, along with new development, is likely. While the primary focus of the study
was on the new, realigned US 522, it was important to Frederick County that any future
roadway be supportive of future land uses within the study area.
The study team focused on configurations and new connections which allow for more
moderately sized blocks, compared with the current superblock and limited connectivity
which exists in the area today. The team recognizes that many or all of these connector
roads may be built by developers, but that identifying them as part of the alternatives
ensures that the future network will offer cohesive mobility and circulation.
Winchester Regional Airport
Winchester Regional Airport is a general aviation facility located approximately a half-mile
southeast of the existing intersection of US 522 and US 17/50. The airport itself is
approximately 370 acres in size, with additional protection areas that may not be impinged
upon for safety and security purposes. For planning purposes as they relate to this study, the
most essential of these protected areas is the Runway Protection Zone (RPZ), which is a two-
dimensional land use area intended to enhance protection of people and property on the
ground. The RPZ may be crossed by a roadway facility but doing so requires justification and
FAA approval. Additional protected areas – the Runway Safety Area (RSA), Runway Object
Free Area (ROFA), and the Localizer Critical Area (LCA) – may not be impinged upon. Lastly,
there is a three-dimensional Approach Surface which must be maintained clear of
obstructions. Figure 2 shows a map of the Winchester Regional Airport’s protection areas.

Crossover Boulevard
Crossover Boulevard is a new major collector roadway, currently under construction, that will
provide critical east-west connectivity across I-81 in the southern portion of the US 522
Realignment Study area. Crossover Boulevard will intersect US 522 at the existing
intersection at Airport Road. A roundabout just east of I-81 on Crossover Boulevard is
designed to facilitate a future additional connection to US 522, though is subject to
development plans. Figure 3 shows the alignment of Crossover Boulevard, including the
potential second connection labeled as Warrior Drive.

Figure 3: Crossover Boulevard Alignment
In the first phase of this study, the team considered alternatives which included this second
connection and its alignment with the new US 522 and those without. To provide long-term
flexibility of the concepts, the Study Team ultimately decided that all new US 522 alignments
should support a connection to Crossover Boulevard, intersecting US 522 between Premier
Place and the Elks Lodge. The cross section of this connector (Warrior Drive) will be
determined in the future.

Preliminary Alignments Screening
The project team identified seven alignments for consideration as part of the preliminary
screening process. Through a series of workshops and with the Study Team, each of the
seven preliminary alignments were assessed for feasibility, alignment with project goals, and
potential fatal flaws. Based on the results of this preliminary screening, three alignments
were advanced for further consideration as candidate alternatives. Following is a description
of the preliminary alignments and the screening results for each.
Alignment A.1: US 522 Spur to Tulane Drive. This alignment shifts
the US 522 / US 50 connection approximately 950 feet to the
southeast to tie into the existing intersection at Tulane Drive and US
50. This alignment was eliminated from consideration due to the lack
of a direct connection to Crossover Boulevard.
Alignment A.2: US 522 Intersection to Tulane Drive. As with
Alignment A.1, this alignment shifts the US 522 / US 50 connection
to tie into the existing intersection at Tulane Drive and US 50; it also
features a new intersection at the existing US 522 alignment to
provide a direct connection to Crossover Boulevard. This alignment
was retained for further consideration as a candidate alternative.
Alignment B.1: US 522 Spur to Ryco Lane. This alignment shifts
the US 522 / US 50 connection approximately 1,850 feet to the east
to tie into the existing intersection at Ryco Lane and US 50. This
alignment was eliminated from consideration due to the magnitude
of potential impacts to private property and lack of a direct
connection to Crossover Boulevard.
Alignment B.2: US 522 Intersection to Ryco Lane. As with
Alignment B.1, this alignment shifts the US 522 / US 50 connection to
tie into the existing intersection at Ryco Lane and US 50; it also
features a new intersection at the existing US 522 alignment to
provide a direct connection to Crossover Boulevard. This alignment
was eliminated from consideration due to the magnitude of potential
impacts to private property.
12
US 522 Realignment Study Phase 1 Summary Findings Report

Alignment C: Bufflick to Prince Frederick Drive. This alignment
establishes a direct north-south connection between Bufflick Road
and Prince Frederick Drive, though with the connection to US 522
undefined. This alignment was eliminated from consideration due to
encroachment on multiple airport protection areas, limited
development potential, and limited congestion relief benefits.
Alignment D: US 522 Intersection to Prince Frederick Drive. This
alignment shifts the US 522 / US 50 connection approximately 3,000
feet to the southeast to tie into the existing intersection at Prince
Frederick Drive and US 50, with a new intersection at the existing US
522 alignment to provide a direct connection to Crossover
Boulevard. This alignment was retained for further consideration as a
candidate alternative.
Alignment E.1: US 522 Intersection to Sulphur Springs Road. This
alignment shifts the US 522 / US 50 connection approximately 1.5
miles to the southeast to tie into the existing intersection at Sulphur
Springs Road and US 50, with a new intersection at the existing US
522 alignment to provide a direct connection to Crossover
Boulevard. This alignment was eliminated from consideration due to
the magnitude of potential impacts to private property and the
exceedingly circuitous realignment.
Alignment E.2: US 522 Intersection to Inverlee Way. This
alignment shifts the US 522 / US 50 connection approximately one
mile to the southeast to tie into the existing intersection at Inverlee
Way and US 50, with a new intersection at the existing US 522
alignment to provide a direct connection to Crossover Boulevard.
This alignment was retained for further consideration as a candidate
alternative.

Candidate Alternatives Assessment
Candidate Alternatives Descriptions
This section summarizes the three alignments that were advanced beyond the screening
process for further consideration.
As part of this process, preliminary planning-level costs were developed. These costs were
developed using the VDOT TMPD tool to estimate a cost per mile, in 2020 dollars. After
discussion with the study team, a planning cost of $30 million per mile was assumed to
construct a four-lane median facility, which includes preliminary engineering and basic
utilities. In order to reflect right of way impacts, price per square foot of right away, as well as
existing structures, was estimated for each of the three alternatives. Costs do not include
construction or right-of-way for grid streets.
Alternative 1: US 522 Intersection to Tulane Drive
Alternative 1 (Alignment A.2 in the preliminary screening) shifts the US 522 / US 50
connection approximately 950’ east to tie into the existing intersection at Tulane Drive and
US 50 and features a direct connection to Crossover Boulevard. Figure 4 shows the proposed
alignment of Alternative 1.
Alternative 1 completely avoids Winchester Regional Airport property and the RPZ and all
associated permitting requirements, although it would impact existing private development
which would increase right-of-way acquisition costs. The alignment would enhance network
connectivity, as Tulane Drive crosses under I-81 north of the study area and provides access
Figure 4: Alternative 1 Proposed Alignment

to the City of Winchester; however, the close spacing between the existing US 522 / US 50
intersection and the Tulane Drive / US 50 intersection could limit the project’s congestion
relief. Alternative 1 would allow for development along the primary US 522 corridor.
Alternative 1 Length: 5,600’
Planning-Level Cost (4-lane cross-section): $31.8 million
Right-of-Way Acquisition: $6.0 million
Total Planning-Level Cost: $37.8 million
Alternative 2: US 522 Intersection to Prince Frederick Drive
Alternative 2 (Alignment D in the preliminary screening) shifts the US 522 / US 50 connection
approximately 3,000 feet southeast to tie into the existing intersection at Prince Frederick
Drive and US 50 and features a direct connection to Crossover Boulevard. Figure 5 shows the
proposed alignment of Alternative 2.
Alternative 2 features adequate intersection spacing on US 50 to realize congestion
reduction benefits and a relatively shorter project length given its use of the existing Prince
Frederick Drive right-of-way. The alignment would marginally encroach on Winchester
Regional Airport property and the RPZ, which would require additional permitting
coordination and justification with the FAA. Development potential along the relocated US

522 corridor is uncertain. Alternative 2 entails the lowest estimated costs of the three
candidate alternatives. The cost below also includes upgrades to the existing Prince Frederick
Drive; these costs were developed in the same manner as the new location costs (as
described above) and estimated at $15 million per mile.
Alternative 2 Length: 4,700’
Planning Cost (4-lane cross-section): $31.0 million
Right-of-Way Acquisition: $2.6 million
Total Planning Cost: $33.6 million
Alternative 3: US 522 Intersection to Inverlee Way
Alternative 3 shifts the US 522 / US 50 connection approximately one mile to the southeast
to tie into the existing intersection at Inverlee Way and US 50 and features a direct
connection to Crossover Boulevard. Figure 6 shows the proposed alignment of Alternative 3.
Alternative 3 is consistent with the alignment shown in the 2035 Frederick County
Comprehensive Plan and features adequate intersection spacing on US 50 to realize
congestion reduction benefits; however, its length and distance from the I-81 interchange
may discourage rerouted trips along its entirety, with the potential for trips to divert to

Prince Frederick Drive. The alignment would marginally encroach on Winchester Regional
Airport property and the RPZ, which would require additional permitting coordination and
justification with the FAA. Development potential along the relocated US 522 corridor is
uncertain. Alternative 3 entails the highest estimated costs of the three candidate
alternatives.
Alternative 3 Length: 9,000’
Planning Cost (4-lane cross-section): $51.1 million
Right-of-Way Acquisition: $4.3 million
Total Planning Cost: $55.4 million
Public Engagement and Survey Findings
The study team solicited public input through a digital survey conducted using MetroQuest,
an online public engagement tool. The survey was available to the public from June 10 to
July 10, 2020. A total of seven respondents completed the survey during that period.
Survey questions sought input on three components: respondents’ priorities for the US 522
study area; preferences on the three candidate alternatives; and feedback on potential reuse
of the disused portion of US 522 once realignment is implemented.
Priorities for US 522
Respondents were asked to select up to five items from among eight options provided and
rank them in order of priority to indicate their preferences for the future of US 522 in the
study area:
17
US 522 Realignment Study Phase 1 Summary Findings Report
12
› Development Potential
› Ease of Implementation
› East-West Connections
› North-South Connections
› Private Property Impacts
› Project Costs
› Public Property Impacts
› Reduce Congestion
Results of the priority ranking are summarized in Figure 7, with lower average ratings
indicating higher ranking and, correspondingly, higher respondent preference.
Note that the highest rating is 1, so a lower average rating indicates higher preference
The results indicate that congestion reduction was the leading priority for those who took
the survey. “Reduce Congestion” was selected as a priority and rated as the highest priority
by more respondents than any other option.
Impacts to property – both public and private – were also relatively high priorities among
respondents. Public property impacts appear to be of somewhat greater concern than
private property impacts, as “Public Property Impacts” was ranked no lower than second
among those respondents who selected it as a priority. This suggests that a subset of
respondents have substantial concerns about potential impacts to Winchester Regional
Airport property.
It is worth noting that two response options – “Development Potential” and “North-South
Connections” – were not selected as priorities by any respondents.

Alternatives Ranking
Respondents were presented with graphical and textual information about each of the three
candidate alternatives for the US 522 Realignment project and were asked to indicate their
preferences for each alternative using a star-rating scale of 1 to 5, with 1 indicating strong
disfavor and 5 indicating strong preference.
Respondents indicated a preference for Alternative 1, which received an average rating of 4.1
out of 5 stars. Both Alternative 2 and Alternative 3 received middling support, with average
ratings of 2.75 and 2.5, respectively. The higher ratings for Alternative 1 may be explained by
its avoidance of impacts to airport protected zones; however, the high ratings do not
necessarily align with the stated preference for congestion reduction, as Alternative 1 may
have relatively less benefit to congestion reduction given its close intersection spacing in the
vicinity of the new connection at US 50.
“Old” US 522
This portion of the survey asked for feedback on options for the disused portion of US 522 –
or “Old” US 522 – following realignment. Respondents were asked to weigh tradeoffs related
to roadway width and the connection of “Old” US 522 at US 50, using a sliding scale to
indicate intensity of preference.
Results indicate that a majority of respondents prefer a narrower cross-section for “Old” US
522 in the future to slow traffic, improve safety, and provide a more hospitable pedestrian
environment. Respondents’ input on the existing connection of US 522 at US 50 suggests
that they would like to see changes to that location to limit congestion and delay while
retaining some connection between “Old” US 522 and US 50.

US 522 Realignment Study Phase 1 Summary Findings Report

Preferred Alternative
Following the public engagement portion of the study, the study team assessed the relative
merits of each candidate alternative based on alignment with study goals, cost, feasibility,
input from partner aviation agencies, and survey findings. Table 1 provides a screening
matrix summarizing each alternative’s performance against a number of key considerations.
Alternative 1 Alternative 2 Alternative 3
Congestion Relief Limited Substantial Moderate
Connection to Crossover Blvd. Yes Yes Yes
Development Potential High/Moderate Moderate Moderate
Airport Impacts Low Moderate Moderate
Private Property Impacts Moderate Low Low
Public Preference High/Moderate Moderate Moderate
Cost Moderate Moderate High
Alignment with Comp Plan Partial Partial Full
› Alternative 2 likely will provide the greatest congestion relief of the three alternatives due
to adequate intersection spacing on US 50 as well as a relatively direct connection that
will encourage rerouted trips from the existing alignment of US 522. While Alternative 2
does entail impacts to airport property and the RPZ, the study team determined that
these impacts can be addressed through coordination with the FAA, VDOA, and
Winchester Regional Airport and that such coordination does not pose a significant
barrier to implementation.
› Alternative 1, while well-received among survey respondents, does not appear likely to
provide sufficient congestion relief to justify the relocation project and therefore does not
meet one of the key goals for the realignment project.
› Alternative 3 is estimated to be more costly than the other alternatives. More importantly,
the alignment’s long connection raises doubts about the extent to which rerouted trips
would use its full length, with concerns about spillover effects from trips diverting to
Prince Frederick Drive.
Table 1: Candidate Alternatives Screening Matrix
20
US 522 Realignment Study Phase 1 Summary Findings Report
15
Based on these assessments, the study team selected Alternative 2 (Figure 8) as the
preferred alternative for the US 522 Realignment Study.
The Study Team recognizes that the preferred alignment, as selected, reflects first and
foremost the end point connections and general connections to additional streets or “grid
streets” (new or proposed). In particular, as this is a planning study, specific property impacts
are unknown at this point. Subsequent design work will explore such impacts, seeking to
minimize impact to private and public property while satisfying regulatory requirements.
Next Steps
Through 2021, the study team will advance the preferred alternative to Phase 2 of the study.
Phase 2 will include capacity assessment to determine whether a 4-lane cross-section is
needed for part or all of the proposed corridor; preliminary design to more precisely
determine roadway alignment and cross-section, right-of-way needs, and potential utility
and environmental impacts; and order-of-magnitude construction cost estimates. The study
team also will continue to coordinate with the FAA, VDOA, and the Winchester Regional
Airport to further assess impacts to airport property and the RPZ and identify potential
permitting solutions or other mitigations for future consideration.

Topic Synopsis
Staff will be presenting the attached drafts of the Interstate, Primary, and Secondary Road Plan updates.
Analysis
This is the annual update of the Interstate, Primary, and Secondary Road Plans. The Interstate and
Primary plans were updated last year in September while the Secondary Plan was not able to be updated
last year due to COVID impacts on transportation revenue and subsequent VDOT efforts to update
revenue projections. The attached drafts have the County back on the normal schedule for update of
these items. The Interstate and Primary plans are unchanged from last year while the Secondary plan has
been updated to reflect projects that have been completed and in some instances advertisement dates of
projects have been adjusted in the later years of the Hardsurface program.
Recommended Action
Staff is seeking a recommendation to the Board of Supervisors.
