This project, along three miles of Richmond Highway (Route 1) between Jeff Todd Way and Sherwood Hall Lane, is being done in conjunction with the
Fairfax County Department of Transportation (FCDOT)'s Richmond Highway Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) project
To better coordinate with
FCDOT's Richmond Highway BRT project
, VDOT has updated how it refers to different parts of the Richmond Highway corridor improvements project. The two connected projects will now be called Section 1 (FCDOT's BRT project north of Sherwood Hall Lane) and Section 2 (VDOT's Richmond Highway road widening project and FCDOT's associated BRT facility installation project south of Sherwood Hall Lane).
Section 1: Richmond Highway BRT project by FCDOT north of Sherwood Hall Lane
The Richmond Highway BRT project is being administered by FCDOT. This project is working to plan, design and construct a BRT system for the Richmond Highway corridor between Fort Belvoir and the Huntington Metrorail station.
View the project webpage for more information
Section 2: Richmond Highway road widening project by VDOT and BRT facility installation project by FCDOT south of Sherwood Hall Lane
The Richmond Highway corridor improvements project is being administered by VDOT. This project will improve approximately three miles of Richmond Highway between Jeff Todd Way and Sherwood Hall Lane.
This project, originally broken down into two phases, has been reclassified into three segments:
Segment A: Sherwood Hall Lane to Frye Road (previously known as Phase 2)
Improvements include:
Widening about a mile and a half of Richmond Highway from four to six lanes.
Adding separate two-way cycle tracks and sidewalks on both sides of the road.
Constructing median running BRT lanes for the future use by the Richmond Highway BRT (stations to be built by the
Richmond Highway BRT project
).
Intersection improvements including at Radford Avenue, Russell Road/Reddick Avenue and Mount Vernon Highway/Buckman Road.
Realignment of Buckman Road's southern end to align with Mohawk Lane.
Replacing the bridge over Little Hunting Creek.
Segment B: Frye Road to Sacramento Drive (previously known as Phase 1B)
Improvements include:
Widening about a mile of Richmond Highway from four to six lanes.
Adding separate two-way cycle tracks and sidewalks on both sides of the road.
Constructing median running BRT lanes for the future use by the Richmond Highway BRT (stations to be built by the
Richmond Highway BRT project
).
Intersection improvements including at Sacramento Drive and at Frye Road.
Replacing the bridge over the North Fork of Dogue Creek.
Segment C: Sacramento Drive to Jeff Todd Way (previously known as Phase 1A)
Improvements include:
Widening about half a mile of Richmond Highway from four to six lanes.
Replacing the bridge over Dogue Creek.
Adding separate two-way cycle tracks and sidewalks on both sides of the road north of the Dogue Creek bridge.
Constructing shared-use paths along both sides of the road south of the Dogue Creek bridge.
Reserving median width to accommodate Fairfax County's BRT lanes (to be built by the
Richmond Highway BRT project
).
Fairfax County's BRT project
extends south in Section 2, creating Segment D, from Jeff Todd Way to Belvoir Road. This southernmost stretch will be widened, and the BRT project will be extended into Fort Belvoir.
All pedestrian and bicycle accommodations will be ADA-compliant, turn lanes will be extended wherever possible to improve safety and capacity, and signals throughout the three-mile Route 1 corridor between Jeff Todd Way and Sherwood Hall Lane will also be optimized.
In 2015, the Route 1 Multimodal Alternatives Analysis, sponsored by VDOT, the Department of Rail and Public Transportation, the Office of Intermodal Planning and Investment, as well as Fairfax and Prince William counties, identified improvements needed to best meet the needs of both the community and corridor travelers. Key recommendations included a Bus Rapid Transit system constructed in three phases; long-term, a three-mile extension of the Metro Yellow Line to Hybla Valley, and short-term, widening Route 1 with bicycle and pedestrian facilities.
For more information, visit Fairfax County's website on the county's
Bus Rapid Transit (BRT)
project and the
Embark Richmond Highway initiative
The project team continues public outreach and meetings as design progresses.
Benefits
The project aims to improve safety, reduce congestion, and help increase the community’s multimodal options.

Arlington Boulevard safety improvements in Arlington County
Start Date

Estimated Completion date:

Estimated Cost:

Please note:
The October 2024 design public hearing transcript/public comments summary is now available
This project will make improvements along nearly a mile of Arlington Boulevard (Route 50) between Glebe Road (Route 120) and Fillmore Street (Route 6622) based on recommendations from the
Route 50 Arlington STARS study
. Arlington Boulevard averages 53,000 vehicles a day within the project limits.
The improvements include:
Constructing a raised median along Arlington Boulevard.
Adding eastbound and westbound dedicated left-turn lanes at Irving Street.
Upgrading the traffic signal at Irving Street.
Extending the eastbound and westbound left-turn lanes at Fillmore Street.
Upgrading the traffic signal at Fillmore Street.
Extending the eastbound service road to connect existing driveways between South Old Glebe Road and North Jackson Street.
Extending the westbound service road to connect existing driveways and adding a bike and ped facility with retaining walls adjacent to the north service road between North Irving Street and North Jackson Street.
Reconstructing portions of the shared-use paths on both sides of Arlington Boulevard.
Upgrading crosswalks at signalized intersections with associated curb ramps at Irving Street and Fillmore Street.
Relocating the South Service Road intersection with Arlington Boulevard from its current location to farther east.
Realigning the trail to county-owned park property to avoid impacts to heritage Southern Red Oak near overhead pedestrian bridge.
On-street parking, i.e. shoulder parking between Garfield Street and Fenwick Street is being evaluated as part of the project.
Potential new lighting between Irving Street and Fillmore Street was evaluated as part of the project; the analysis determined new lighting is not warranted along this segment of Route 50 at this time. Potential bus stop improvements were also evaluated as part of the project; WMATA (Metro) discontinued bus service on this segment of Route 50 during the COVID-19 pandemic and has no plans to restore service in the near future. Therefore, WMATA requested that bus stop improvements be removed from the project.
Benefits
This project aims to improve safety and operations.

Estimated Completion date:
TBD
Estimated Cost:
$2.95 million
This project will construct a sidewalk along the north side of Route 7 (Leesburg Pike) from Magnolia Avenue to just east of the Liberty gas station (5930 Leesburg Pike) in the Culmore area.
The project also includes:
Shifting the curb and gutter towards the Route 7 centerline (as a result, the widths of the westbound Route 7 through and two-way left turn lanes will be reduced to 11 feet).
