Traffic impacts from the Tri-County Parkway project plan:
- The VDOT and National Park Service agreement calls for CLOSING Route 234 from NVCC to Featherbed Lane.
- Route 29 slated for “traffic calming” measures and then closure with Manassas Battlefield Bypass
- Pageland Lane eliminated and abandoned
- Catharpin Road becomes major cut through for traffic going to Gainesville
- Featherbed (now a dirt road) and Groveton will be the only option for many commuters.
- All local and commuter traffic diverted to I-66
