Route 17 from Stafford Plaza Drive to Cardinal Forest Drive.
Truslow Road from Cool Breeze Way to Berea Church Road.
The purpose of this study is to examine current and future traffic and safety concerns on Truslow Road, which runs parallel to Route 17 (Warrenton Road) in Stafford County. In addition, the planned Stafford Plaza Drive extension to access the two new schools is anticipated to open in 2026, which will alter travel patterns in the area. The study aims to identify cost-effective ways to enhance safety, improve road capacity, and provide better access for all road users, including bicyclists, pedestrians, and transit users.
The Phase 1 survey regarding current transportation on Truslow Road and Route 17 was completed in May 2025. The study team will use the input obtained from the public to better focus on solutions and develop alternatives to address the identified needs.
