Wintergreen Emergency Egress Act
17 September 2026 | Reported by committee (Energy and Natural Resources, with an amendment in the nature of a substitute, without written report)
What's next: Floor scheduling (leadership decides if and when it gets a vote)
Summary: The bill would require the Department of the Interior to grant a right-of-way through the Blue Ridge Parkway to create an emergency exit route from Wintergreen, Virginia, but only after the agency completes several studies. These include evaluating alternative exit routes that don't cross federal land, analyzing how fire behavior might affect the area, and conducting required environmental and historic preservation reviews.
