Aug. 29 public meeting to address Messer Road trail connector in Varina
Table of Contents
The proposed Messer Road trail connector, a 0.4-mile 12-foot-wide shared use path designed to connect Varina High School to the Virginia Capital Trail at Route 5, will be the focus of a public meeting Tuesday, Aug. 29, at the Varina Area Library. The meeting, hosted by the Henrico Department of Public Works, will take place from 5 p.m. to 6:40 p.m.
The proposed trail would run along the southeast side of Messer Road and connect to the Capital Trail at Route 5 and to Varina High School at the existing sidewalk in front of the school.
Design work already is underway, and the county is expected to begin acquiring right-of-way land for the project in June. Construction then could begin in January 2025.
A survey to receive public input about the project is available here through Sept. 15.
