HANOVER – A public hearing on the Fall Line Trail project will be held Tuesday, November 15, from 5 to 7 p.m., at Elmont Elementary School, at 12007 Cedar Lane in Ashland, by the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT).

Citizens may view the proposed plans for the northernmost section of the trail that will connect the Longdale section in Henrico County just south of the Chickahominy River, to the existing Trolley Line Trail in the Town of Ashland, following along the historic Richmond-Ashland trolley line corridor.

This section of the trail will be a 4.8 mile, ten-foot wide shared-use path. The proposed plans were developed after two Location Public Hearings were held by VDOT in May 2022.

Comments about the project can be submitted at the hearing, or submitted no later than November 30, 2022, to Mr. Roy Soto, P.E., P.M.P., Virginia Department of Transportation c/o Fall Line Trail, 2430 Pine Forest Drive, Colonial Heights, VA 23834. Comments can also be emailed to FallLine@VDOT.Virginia.gov. Please reference “Fall Line Trail – Northern Section Design Public Hearing” in the subject line.
