Message from Rob:
Dear Friends and Neighbors,
Today, I hosted a roundtable with Department of Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy. We were joined by local stakeholders to discuss transportation projects in Virginia’s First District.
It was an honor to welcome Secretary Duffy to the First District for a conversation about transportation infrastructure. We discussed the Powhite Parkway Extension and the importance of investing in transportation projects that improve connectivity and safety. It is critical that we continue to work together to advance the infrastructure in our district and ensure that Virginians have access to safe, reliable, and convenient roads.
Background:
Earlier this year, I presented Chesterfield County with an $8 million check for the Powhite Parkway Extension Phase II. This Community Project Funding request was secured in the Fiscal Year 2026 Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Act and signed into law on February 3rd. The funding will provide for the completion of the parkway expansion between Woolridge Road and U.S. Route 360 — connecting Chesterfield County to the Richmond area and expanding economic opportunities for residents. I am proud to bring tax dollars back home for district-specific priorities.
Sincerely,
Rob Wittman
Member of Congress, Virginia’s 1st District
