Virginia Beach Trail The Virginia Beach Trail #VBTrail is a proposed 10'-wide paved asphalt shared-use path within the city-owned right-of-way (formerly the NSRR corridor). This approximately 66-foot wide corridor is 12 miles long and runs from the western city limit line all the way to our oceanfront. The eastern-most 1.5 miles of the trail is already constructed on the north side of Norfolk Avenue between Birdneck Road and Pacific Avenue. The remaining 10.5 miles of the VB Trail has been designed to 15% construction drawings. A US Department of Transportation (USDOT) grant for $12M in federal funding is being sought to design and construct Phase I of the remaining 10.5 miles of the Virginia Beach Trail. Phase I is a 3.2-mile stretch of trail from the western city limit line at Newtown Road heading east to Town Center, including a pedestrian fly-over bridging Independence Boulevard to separate active transportation users from automobile traffic. This segment of the Trail will terminate at Constitution Drive.

When the 3.2-miles of Phase I are constructed that only leaves seven miles and two bridge crossings left between Phase I and the already constructed 1.5-mile Norfolk Avenue Trail! The VB Trail has been a part of the City Council adopted Virginia Beach Active Transportation Plan since 1981 and has continued to be a priority project.
