PROJECT DESCRIPTION 
For years, Northern Virginia's Four Mile Run has functioned as a flood
control channel and a border between the City of Alexandria and
Arlington County. More recently, growing community interest in
revitalizing and celebrating the Run has resulted in the Four Mile Run
Restoration Master Plan. The plan outlines a broad range of ambitious,
feasible goals to restore the ecology of the Run while re-establishing
it as a cherished park space and a means of stitching 
together communities. 

The Four Mile Run Pedestrian-Cyclist Bridge Project is funded by the
Virginia Department of Transportation through a Transportation
Enhancement Grant.
