North Meade Street Multimodal Improvements
StatusIn Design
County staff is finalizing a traffic analysis within the project area, which help inform the final conceptual plan for the project. The analysis will provide necessary information to guide lane configurations/widths along the bridge. The report will will be completed by late 2025 with an updated design to follow.
About the Project
This project incorporates multimodal improvements along North Meade Street from Dark Star Park to Marshall Drive, including the reconstruction and realignment of the intersection of North Meade Street at the US-50/Arlington Blvd ramps, as described in the Core of Rosslyn Plan. Currently, the project does not include reconstruction or maintenance to the limits of the bridge over US-50, which is owned and maintained by the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT).
A study completed in January 2011 assessed safety, accessibility and functionality improvements for the Meade Street Bridge. Three different concept alternatives were designed as part of the study before a final preferred concept plan was developed in early 2012.
In 2015 the County Board adopted a Rosslyn Sector Plan that included a multimodal transportation vision set forth by the community and proposed modifications to the final preferred concept. In 2017 the County’s Transportation Division, in partnership with the Rosslyn Business Improvement District (BID), began the Core of Rosslyn Transportation Study to assess the feasibility and potential impacts through 2030, of the proposed Sector Plan changes to the Rosslyn transportation network. Implementation of the Core of Rosslyn Transportation Study began in 2020.
