VDOT project staff told the Central Virginia Transportation Authority Technical Advisory Committee on May 12 that bids for Design-Build 2 of the Fall Line Trail came in close to one another but left the program about $10,200,000 short of available allocations.
The presentation recommended pursuing an award despite the shortfall because the apparent low bidder included technical enhancements that VDOT staff said would improve safety and the trail experience from day one. VDOT has issued a notice of intent to award the contract but said the award is contingent on locating additional funds; if funding is secured, the agency seeks formal award approval at the Commonwealth Transportation Board (CTB) meeting in June. VDOT staff said construction could begin late this calendar year, pending environmental permitting, with an estimated completion around October 2028.
