What impact will construction have on recreational use of Cabin John and Rock Creek Parks?
Cabin John Park – Tunnel construction is not expected to impede recreational use of Cabin John Park. Rock Creek Park – Tunnel construction could impede use of Rock Creek Park in some areas. Specifically, biking, hiking (Rock Creek Trail), and traffic along Beach Drive could be affected because of increased traffic and construction site use. However, measures such as re-routing the biking and hiking paths and traffic planning could minimize the areas inaccessible for recreational uses in this park during construction. No significant long-term recreational impacts are anticipated.
