ABOUT THE PROJECT

This project will improve almost three miles of Richmond Highway from Jeff Todd Way to Napper Road in Fairfax County. The proposed plans will widen the road from four to six lanes, provide separate bicycle and pedestrian accommodations on both sides of the road, and preserve the median width necessary to accommodate Fairfax County's future Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) plans for dedicated bus-only lanes.

YOUR BEST RESOURCE: GET INVOLVED

Public involvement is critical in our development and delivery of transportation projects. The project team has been actively meeting with community and homeowner associations along the corridor. If you're interested in scheduling a meeting, please contact us today at [email protected].
