Description

The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) is soliciting bids to convert an existing railroad corridor into a multi‑use trail segment. The project involves removing rail infrastructure, grading, installing trail surface, drainage, signage, and related site work from Sunnyside Rd in Cheriton to Birdnest Dr in Birdnest. This is a standard civil‑construction contract requiring a qualified contractor with experience in rail‑to‑trail conversions and related right‑of‑way work. • Scope includes demolition of rails, grading, sub‑base preparation, surfacing (likely asphalt or crushed stone), drainage installation, and trail signage. • Location: District – Hampton Roads, County – Northampton, Virginia. • Pre‑qualification is required; all questions must be submitted via VDOT’s CABB system.

Budget estimate

$500,000 – $2,000,000

Based on typical rail‑to‑trail conversion costs in Virginia (approximately $500,000 to $2 million per mile depending on length, terrain, and required amenities), a reasonable estimate for this project would fall in the low‑half‑million to two‑million‑dollar range. Factors influencing the final amount include length of the corridor, existing condition of rail infrastructure, required drainage, and surface material selection.
