Page 357, after line 48, insert:
"C.  The Virginia Department of Transportation is hereby directed to undertake a project to expand Minnieville Road from Spriggs Road to State Route 234 in Prince William County to four lanes.  Estimated costs of planning, engineering and construction would be $10,000,000 the first year and $10,000,000 the second year.  The Department is hereby directed to include funding for such improvements  in the fiscal year 2005-2010 Six-Year Improvement Program.  If insufficient funding increases are available for such improvements, the Department is authorized to transfer funding allocations from other primary system projects in the region."


Explanation
(This amendment directs the Department of Transportation to provide $10.0 million each year to undertake a project to expand Minnieville Road from Spriggs Road to State Route 234 in Prince William County to four lanes. Completion of this segment, along with county-approved widening of Minnieville Road from Cardinal Road to Spriggs Road would dramatically improve safety by reducing congestion over neighborhood roads from Dale City to newly improved Route 234.)
