The Meadowcreek Parkway is a controversial road currently under construction in [[Albemarle County]] and pending final approval in the City of Charlottesville. When completed, it will connect McIntire Road in Charlottesville with East Rio Road in Albemarle.

The project consists of three elements:
 
#[[Meadowcreek Parkway Interchange]]
#[[Meadowcreek Parkway (County portion)]]
#[[McIntire Road Extended (City's Portion of Meadowcreek Pkwy)]]
 
==History==
For much of its history, the Meadowcreek Parkway was envisioned as a four-lane road. However, on July 20, 1999, the Charlottesville
City Council sent a letter to the [[Virginia Department of Transportation]] that said Council's support for the Parkway would be contingent on several adjustments to the design:
 
# Design speed should be lowered to 37.5 miles per hour
# Parkway should follow the contours of the park to reduce its impact to McIntire Park
# Number of lanes should be reduced to 2
# The intersection with Route 250 should contain no more than 17 lanes
# Parkway construction should include at least one storm water management pond
# Additional parkland should be acquired to compensate for the loss of land in McIntire Park
# VDOT should be barred from constructing cell towers along the right of way
# Truck traffic should be prohibited
# The Parkway should not be construed as a replacement for an [[Eastern Connector]]
# The [[Vietnam War Memorial]] should be protected, preserved and cared for
