Project Description
This project is for the construction of Nimmo Parkway Phase VII-B, a two-lane undivided roadway

Project History
This project first appeared in the 1990-94 CIP as project 2-150 Ferrell Parkway Phase VI and VII (Partial). The project was removed from the CIP after VDOT funding was transferred to Independence Boulevard Phase IV-C. Ferrell Parkway Phases VI and VII were re-named Nimmo Parkway Phases VI and VII in the FY 2015-20 CIP.
