Relief: left turns now allowed again on Fair Lakes Parkway

The new interchange being constructed at the corner of the Fairfax County Parkway and Fair Lakes Parkway is not yet complete. However, left turns now are allowed again from the Fairfax County Parkway. This will certainly ease the confusion trying to use the intersection.

For more information on the project, visit the project’s web site. It is scheduled to complete in 2013 at a cost of $69.5M.

Road project at the Fairfax County Parkway and Sunrise Valley Drive

There seems to be some road construction going on on the Fairfax County Parkway at the intersection of the parkway and Sunrise Valley Drive. What’s going on? VDOT reports:

This project provides for construction of a new dual left turn lane on northbound Fairfax County Parkway at Sunrise Valley Drive. Construction includes grading, paving, storm drainage, traffic signals, overhead signal support structure, asphalt and concrete sidewalks/trails, concrete curb and gutter, pavement markings, signs and related items.

It should be finished this fall.
