PROJECT BACKGROUND:

Construction is substantially complete on a $12.9 million project to expand a VDOT Park & Ride lot in Stafford County. The project is adding nearly 1,000 new parking spaces.

The expansion doubles commuter parking spaces at this location. With close proximity to Interstate 95, the lot is one of the busiest and largest ridesharing locations for carpooling, vanpooling and transit in the Fredericksburg area.

Other new features at the lot include a dedicated location for HOV carpooling, a bus pickup and dropoff area, new sidewalk and turn lanes, and a roundabout that connects the lot to Doc Stone Road, Juggins Road and Moncure Lane, improving access management to the site.

DRIVING DIRECTIONS:

From Interstate 95 North and South:
Take Interstate 95 North or South to Exit 143B/Garrisonville in Stafford County. At the end of the exit ramp, merge onto Route 610 (Garrisonville Road) westbound.

Proceed on Route 610 until the second traffic signal at Staffordboro Boulevard. Turn right onto Staffordboro Boulevard.

The VDOT Park & Ride lot is located immediately to the left. Follow event signs to the ribbon-cutting ceremony.
