The Manassas Journal-Messenger reports that the Commonwealth Transportation Board approved the route for the Tri-County Parkway.

The proposed 10.4-mile north-south parkway would connect Manassas with the Dulles corridor.

The road would run west of the Manassas Battlefield Park from north of the Interstate 66 and the Va. 234 interchange into Loudoun County, said a Virginia Department of Transportation press release.

"The board took a significant action today to improve mobility in a heavily congested region of the state by approving a location for the Tri-County Parkway," said Acting VDOT Commissioner Gregory A. Whirley in the release.

The PWC BoCS doesn't agree with the route. Chairman Connaughton notes:

We supported the alignment that was in all three counties' comprehensive plan.
