About the Project
This project will rehabilitate and widen the westbound Route 7 (Leesburg Pike) bridge over Sugarland Run in order to improve safety and extend the overall life of the bridge. The bridge was built in 1947.
The planned improvements include:
- A new, wider concrete bridge deck
- Widening and repairing the bridge pier and abutments
- Extending the westbound Route 7/Fairfax County Parkway (Route 286) acceleration lane to Dranesville Road (Route 228) to improve operations
- Guardrail upgrades and new curb and gutter in the area of the bridge
The project is being financed with state and federal State of Good Repair funds used for maintenance of structures and bridges.
Route 7 averages 59,000 vehicles a day in the project area, while Fairfax County Parkway averages 31,000 vehicles a day in the project area.
