Supervisor Matt Letourneau (R-Dulles) alerted residents this week that the Virginia Department of Transportation has planned a significant lane shift along Route 50 Thursday evening, July 12, weather permitting.

Eastbound traffic between Pleasant Valley Road and Stonecroft Boulevard in Fairfax County will be diverted approximately 50 feet to the north. This shift will occur at night and be fully operational by the morning of Friday, July 13.

The shift will not impede access to or from any of the side streets or entrances. As with any change in traffic pattern, drivers may want to allow some extra time for the commute Friday morning.

Information about the project can be found on VDOT’s website.
