Cross County Trail Before and After
2008 - 2009 Paving Project
Downstream from Lake Accotink

During June 2008:

On June 14, construction was underway on some parts of the paving path. Complaints by Friends had caused some slight improvements, such as minor rerouting to reduce tree loss, earlier reseeding of disturbed areas, and more efective sedimentation controls.
