Braddock Road Multimodal Improvements in Fairfax County

Overview

Please note: The public comments summary for the July 2023 public information meeting is now available.

This project will construct multimodal and access management improvements along three miles of Braddock Road (Route 620) between Humphries Drive in Burke and Ravensworth Road in Annandale, including the eastbound and westbound Braddock Road ramps to southbound I-495 (Capital Beltway Outer Loop) and a half-mile of Ravensworth Road between Braddock Road and Heritage Drive. 

The improvements include:

• Intersection enhancements, including at Rolling Road, Wakefield Chapel Road/Danbury Forest Drive and Burke Lake Road
• New and upgraded shared-use paths along both sides of Braddock Road

The project's right of way and construction will be done in two phases: Southampton Drive to Ravensworth Road (Phase 1) and Humphries Drive to Southampton Drive (Phase 2).

Within the project limits, Braddock Road averages about 65,000 vehicles a day and Ravensworth Road averages 14,000.

Benefits

The project will improve multimodal safety, mobility and accessibility for all users.
