Virginia State Route 234 partially coincident with Prince William Parkway
Route description
SR 234 begins at an intersection with US 1 (Jefferson Davis Highway) on the northern edge of the town of Dumfries.  The state highway heads northwest as Dumfries Road, a six-lane divided highway that passes southwest of the Dumfries Road Commuter Lot, a park and ride facility, before it meets I-95 at a partial cloverleaf interchange.  North of Dumfries, SR 234 parallels Quantico Creek and follows the border of Prince William Forest Park to the southwest.  The state highway also passes many residential subdivisions on the highway's northbound side in the community of Montclair, where the highway reduces to four lanes at Country Club Drive.  SR 234 curves to the north at Independent Hill, which the highway bypasses.  The old alignment through the village, which contains the remains of the Greenwood Gold Mine, is designated SR 234 Old.  SR 234 passes through the communities of Canova, Cornwell, and Lake Jackson, where the highway crosses the Occoquan River just east of the community's namesake reservoir.  Just north of Lake Jackson, the state highway intersects Prince William Parkway (SR 294), which connects Manassas and Woodbridge.
