Compton Drive Multi-Use Pathway
The Matoaka Woods Multi-Use Pathway along Compton Drive is a project being collaboratively executed with the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT). The scope of work includes construction of a 9' wide (8’ clear) concrete trail adjacent to Compton Drive as well as retaining walls to avoid impact to nearby wetlands, lighting, and guardrails to protect pedestrians from vehicular traffic. The new construction will connect the existing pathway on Compton Drive to the City of Williamsburg's pathway at Monticello Avenue (SR 321).

A map of the Compton Drive drainage pathways illustrates the complexity of the planning process needed to complete the multi-use pathway system.
Compton drive is a critical connector between Monticello Avenue and the West Campus, and pedestrian access is needed to compliment the vehicular circulation.
The existing multi-use pathway along Compton Drive terminates at the path that leads to the School of Education.
The new concrete pathway will include a retaining wall, guard rails, and campus standard light fixtures.
