Hearing Set on Improving Route 50-Dulles Airport Access

The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) has planned public hearing from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. June 13 at Creighton’s Corner Elementary School about a $1 million study to improve access between Route 606 and Route 50, and to Dulles Airport.

As proposed, a connector road would extend from the interchange of the planned Tri-County Parkway (VA Route 411) and Lee-Jackson Memorial Highway (US Route 50) to the existing intersection of Old Ox Road (VA Route 606) and Arcola Road (VA Route 842) where future airport roads and an extension of the Loudoun County Parkway are anticipated to converge.  

VDOT representatives will be on hand with information about the Environmental Assessment and Location Study to improve passenger and cargo access to the western side of the airport and the future Metrorail stations in Loudoun County. The study analyzes the environmental impacts of constructing a limited-access highway between Route 50 and Route 606.

Anyone interested can stop by to learn more and talk one-on-one with VDOT staff and the study team.

At the hearing, comments may be left in a drop-box or taken by a court reporter. They can also be sent to VDOT through June 28, 2013 to:

Mail: Tom Fahrney, Virginia Department of Transportation, 4975 Alliance Drive, Fairfax, VA 22030
