Project Overview

The Eastern Frederick County Transportation (Route 37) Study, performed by McCormick Taylor, Inc., is an analysis which identified specific transportation needs, and conceptual solutions. The study area includes Interstate 81 (I-81) in the west to the Frederick County/Clarke County line in the east, and extending from Route 761 on the north side of the city to the Tasker Road area east of I-81 Exit 310. The scenarios were developed with consideration of pursuit of a Route 37 east bypass and other possible transportation improvements. A central point of the study was to analyze the traditionally comprehensive planned layout and facility type. The study’s goal was to develop a set of clear transportation needs to be addressed by a fiscally implementable set of improvements and prioritized segments. The final study will include additional recommendations such as land use or access management. Phase II of the study, which will soon be underway, will further refine the recommendations and provide additional analysis required for competition for VDOT funding.
