Rt 9/Rt 287 roundabout project moves forward

In his Nov. 25 update on the two-lane roundabout construction project at the Rt 9/Rt 287 intersection, Blue Ridge District Supervisor Tony R. Buffington reported that Loudoun County’s design consultant has been working with the Department of Transportation and Capital Infrastructure to further improve the design. The project consists of approximately one mile of roadway improvements, including the roundabout.

In September, comments on the design, which is 90 percent completed, were received from the Loudoun County Building and Development department and the Virginia Department of Transportation. The County’s design consultant is expected to submit the completed design for consideration by all agencies in December.

Meanwhile, utility coordination is proceeding. Right-of-way acquisition is estimated to begin next spring with construction scheduled for Summer 2022.
