Construction on Fort Hunt Road Trail Begins

The Fort Hunt Road trail will get a complete overhaul.

The Fairfax County Park Authority started construction Monday on the Fort Hunt Road trail.

Crews will install 3,150 linear feet of eight-foot wide asphalt trail along Fort Hunt Road in Mount Vernon District Park. It will connect the new trail section to the sidewalk near Quander Road at the southern end and the sidewalk at Martha Washington Library at the northern end.

An additional 350 linear feet of six-foot wide asphalt trail will connect the new trail to the parking lot for the Mount Vernon RECenter.

The project will cost $425,000 and will be funded through the park bond. The project is expected to be completed by July. For safety reasons, the existing footpath will be closed during construction.
