The project also constructed shared-use paths on both sides of the entire seven-mile stretch of Route 7 between Reston Avenue and Jarrett Valley Drive. The shared-use paths tie into those on Route 7 beyond the eastern and western limits of the project, providing a direct bicyclist/pedestrian connection from the Fairfax County Parkway Trail to Tysons. The project also provided Gerry Connolly Cross County Trail users a new route under the rebuilt Difficult Run bridge to safely cross Route 7.
