Project History � Woodlawn Road was closed through Fort Belvoir after September 11, 2001. The Fairfax County BOS renamed Old Mill Road from Rte 1 to Pole Road “Mulligan Road” � The U. S. Army agreed to replace Woodlawn Road with Mulligan Road from Route 1, extending through the Fort, to Telegraph Road � FHWA prepared an Environmental Assessment (EA) for both Mulligan Road and Telegraph Road, resulting in a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) � FHWA is managing the design and construction of Mulligan Road. � Construction began on Phase 1 of Mulligan Road through Fort Belvoir in January 2009. Completion is scheduled for Summer 2010. 7
Project History � Once Mulligan Road is opened, through traffic congestion on Telegraph Road is expected to increase substantially unless Telegraph Road is also improved. � In a cooperative alliance, FHWA will also manage the design and construction of this segment of Telegraph Road. VDOT will acquire all right of way. � Fairfax County will provide additional funds to finance the project until VDOT can reimburse the cost. � A CIM was held in October 2008 for both this segment of Telegraph Road as well as the segment north to S. Kings Highway 8
