The Megaprojects are just some of the improvements coming soon or already under way in Northern Virginia. Below are other projects (under way or planned) not as large in scale, but equally important in making traveling on the road much easier.

Other Major Projects in 2011

Underway:

Route 29/Linton Hall Road Interchange in Gainesville – By summer detour roads will be built so that construction can begin on the interchange that will eliminate the at-grade railroad crossing. Completion, end of 2014. Visit the project page.

Fairfax County Parkway and Fair Lakes Interchange – This summer, a six-month detour for Fair Lakes traffic begins, and in November Parkway traffic will be shifted to new northbound and southbound ramps to allow for the reconstruction of the Parkway over Fair Lakes Parkway and Monument Drive. Completion, end of 2013. Visit the project page.

I-66 West spot improvement – In December, construction will be complete on a continuous two-mile auxiliary lane and 12-foot shoulder between Fairfax Drive and Sycamore Street in Arlington. Visit the project page.

Route 28 and Wellington Road in Manassas – Work continues to build an overpass to eliminate the at-grade railroad crossing on Route 28 in Manassas. Completion, end of 2012.

Beginning spring 2011:

I-66 Rehab – This project will rehabilitate 6.5 miles of badly deteriorated pavement on I-66 between the Capital Beltway and Route 50 in Fairfax County. To minimize impacts to motorists, all lane closures will take place at night. For more information included closure times click here.

Route 50/Courthouse Road/10th Street in Arlington – bridges will be replaced and collector-distributor roads will be added to Route 50 to ease merging. Completion, end of 2013.
