I-81 Improvements:
Provide additional travel lanes on the main line, evaluate 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.
All projects in the vicinity of future I-81 connections for Route 37 should be scoped to
consider that project to prevent conflicting improvements and make sure to accommodate
that future connection.
Moreover, the County of Frederick supports exploration of the potential for rail
transportation as a component of the Interstate 81 Corridor improvements.
Interchange Priorities
1.Exit 317 – Interchange Upgrade and Redbud Road realignment to accommodate
interchange upgrade. Improvements to bridges and the north end of the
interchange should work to accommodate the future Route 37 north connection.
2.Exit 307 – Safety and capacity improvements to the existing facility while
continuing to promote the future relocation further south to the South Frederick
Parkway.
3.Exit 313 - Bridge reconstruction, safety improvements, and capacity expansion.
4.Exit 323 – Interchange Upgrade
5.Exit 310 - Phase 2 of the FHWA approved interchange modifications.
6.Exit 307 – Interchange Relocation
7.Exit 321 – Upgrade to split interchange between Hopewell Rd and Cedar Hill Rd
Interstate Widening Priorities
1.Widen I-81 from Route 50/17 Exit 313 to Route 11 Exit 317
2.Widen I-81 from Route 277 Exit 307 to Route 50/17 Exit 313. This should
include the relocation of Exit 307.
3.Widen I-81 in Frederick County from Route 11 Exit 317 to the West Virginia
State line
5
4.Widen I-81 in Frederick County from Route 277 Exit 307 to the Warren County
Line in the South
Intelligent Transportation Systems and Incident Management

10
All upgrades to primary system roadways that are not limited access should include
implementation of access management principles to improve safety and efficiency wherever
possible.
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 preferred alternative between existing Route 11 North and Route
7.
B.Route 37 - Phase 2
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
I-81 to Front Royal Pike (Route 522 South).
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 Existing Route 37 around Stonewall
Industrial Park to Route 11 North.
D.Route 37 - Phase 4
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.
2)Route 11 (North and South of Winchester)
A)Establish an Urban Divided Six Lane System:
From: Northern limits of the City of Winchester
To: Intersection of Cedar Hill Road
B)Establish an Urban Divided Four Lane System:
From: Southern limits of the City of Winchester
To: Renaissance Drive
C)Establish an Urban Divided Four Lane System:
From: Intersection of Cedar Hill Road
To: West Virginia line
3)Route 37 Slip Ramps to Lenoir Drive
Construct Ramps to allow traffic to enter and exit the southbound side of Route 37 from
Lenoir Drive.
11
4)Route 277 (East of Stephens City)
Upgrade of the overall corridor to a 4-lane divided system with improved access
management and bicycle and pedestrian facilities.
A)Establish an Urban Divided Four Lane System:
From: Double Church Road
To: Warrior Drive
B)Establish an Urban Divided Four Lane System:
From: Warrior Drive
To: White Oak Road
C)Establish an Urban Divided Four Lane System:
From: White Oak Road
To: Route 522
5)Route 7 – Establish a 6 Lane Cross Section:
From: Exit 315 Interchange
To: Future Route 37 Interchange
6)Route 50 East and West
A)Establish a 6 Lane Cross Section:
From: The Interchange at Exit 313
To: The Future Route 37 Interchange
B)Establish a 6 Lane Cross Section:
From: The Interchange with Route 37
To: Poorhouse Road
7)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 new planned roadway with limited access points serving a mixture of
predominantly commercial and industrial development.
There is a need to study this project in conjunction with the Exit 307 relocation and
planning for Route 277 improvements noted in item 3.
12
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 Drive.
8)Route 522 and Costello Drive
Add additional left turn lane capacity on Route 522 southbound for turns onto Costello
Drive.
9)Commuter Park and Ride Lots
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 and ideally strengthen
SmartScale applications.

NON-HARDSURFACE ROAD IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS
2022/2023 through 2027/2028
Non-Hardsurface road improvement projects provide impervious resurfacing and reconstruction of
non-hardsurfaced secondary roads. Non-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.
