Project Description

Parsons is preparing an Environmental Impact Statement and preliminary design study for the Manassas National Battlefield Park Bypass. The Manassas National Battlefield Park, which is located in a rapidly suburbanizing area of northern Virginia, was the site of two major Civil War battles, including the first major engagement of the Civil War. Two roadways, U.S. Route 29 and VA Route 234, transect the park and are used by a conflicting mix of park, commuter, and industrial traffic. The presence of Routes 29 and 234 and the conflicting mix of traffic have resulted in traffic safety and congestion problems, negative impacts to visitor experience and interpretation, and difficulty for basic park management and operations.
