Grants and design schedule shape Trips Run timeline; construction likely mid‑to‑late 2027
Summary
County staff said grants (with DCR among partners) carry deadlines that push the design schedule; staff expects the 65%/95% phases this year and a final design early next year, with major creek-bed work and construction likely in mid‑to‑late 2027 depending on bidding and contractor selection.
Staff told residents the county has grants tied to the project and thus is motivated to advance design milestones. A staff member said, "We have grants that are tied to this project. And so and those grants have deadlines of when the project has to be done or we lose the money. So we are very interested in staying on those timelines."
Project staff described a sequence: the project is in 65% design, will advance to 95% later this year, and the final design is expected the first quarter of next year; work on the creek bed and major in‑stream excavation is not likely to begin before mid‑ to late‑2027, with contracting and bidding to follow the final design.
Staff also noted partner interest from Falls Church, which is pursuing sewer work on its side of Annandale Road; upsizing upstream pipes benefits that partner as well, providing additional incentive to keep to grant timelines.
