Law

This bill would require the Department of the Interior to allow a new emergency exit road to be built on National Park Service land near the Blue Ridge Parkway in Virginia.
The road is designed to give people living in or visiting the Wintergreen area a safe way to leave quickly during emergencies like wildfires or other disasters.
Before the road can be built, officials must study other options that do not use federal land and look at how fire might behave in that specific area to ensure the exit is effective.
The project must also follow federal environmental and historic preservation laws to make sure the construction does not cause unnecessary harm to the park or local history.
