After I stumbled upon the in-progress painting of buffered bike lanes on Dumbarton Road during today’s ride, I started wondering about what Henrico County has going on with bike infrastructure. Like so many American localities, Henrico’s bike lanes are a disjointed, often ponderous collection of paths, two-way cycle tracks, and paint-as-infrastructure. But I ride around the greater Richmond metro area a lot, and so I see the progress—such as it is—as it happens.
Well I finally did the sensible thing and hit the ol' web search, and found Henrico County’s bike page. They have links to their current map of bike infrastructure and a draft bike plan map. The current map says it was updated in May 2025, but I’ve already seen a few areas with new lanes and cycle tracks from the draft plan map. The draft plan is ambitious, and the county page on bike infrastructure doesn’t really indicate what’s in progress or actually approved to move forward, but I’m happy to see these projects as they are implemented. For now, you can check their projects page. It includes all DPW projects, even the car-centric stuff, but you can see bike and pedestrian work on there.
