Road construction and parking area paving continues Aug. 18-22 at Manassas Battlefield

Work to repair and resurface park roads and parking areas will continue at Manassas National Battlefield Park during the week of Aug.18-22.  The work will be done between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. Monday through Friday. 

During the week of Aug. 18-22, construction work will occur on North Chinn Road, South Chinn Road, New York Avenue, and the Groveton Confederate Cemetery parking area.  The affected roadways and parking areas will be closed to traffic during construction activities.  Changing locations of work zones and project updates will be provided in a weekly traffic advisory to the news media.

The NPS will continue to inform the public and the media of any delays or adjustments to this work schedule.  Park visitors are encouraged to inquire at the Henry Hill Visitor Center concerning any available alternatives to accessing affected areas of the park.  Motorists will be notified of construction activity through the use of construction signs and variable message boards.  As with all road construction projects, inclement weather may require adjustments to the schedules, including the possibility of postponement.  Every effort will be made to minimize traffic delays and accomplish the work in a timely manner.  The NPS regrets any inconvenience and appreciates all motorists’ understanding and patience. The project, which is being undertaken by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), Eastern Federal Lands Highways Division (EFLHD), in cooperation with the National Park Service (NPS), is anticipated to be completed by November 2014.
