The Fairfax County Park Authority wants trail users to be aware that a trail maintenance and repair project is getting underway. Tibbs Paving will be making repairs and paving the stretch of the Gerry Connolly Cross County Trail from Route 50 to Thaiss Memorial Park (City of Fairfax) starting on or about Tuesday, Aug. 22, weather permitting. It is anticipated that work should be completed by Friday, Sept. 1.

The trail will remain open to the public; however, there will be some trail disruptions to trail users as Tibbs Paving makes their way through the repairs. Signage will be posted along the routes.

According to Project Manager Karen Devor, from Route 50, the entire trail section is in poor condition with numerous potholes and missing shoulder areas. The trail repair work will involve rip-rapping culverts, milling and/or paving, and shoulder restoration. Project costs are approximately $50,000 with funds provided by the Board of Supervisors Transportation Improvements fund.
