LOUDOUN COUNTY: Temporary Traffic Pattern to Begin on New Segment of Riverside Parkway

Traffic

Loudoun County issued the following announcement on Apr. 9.

Loudoun County is scheduled to shift traffic to a new 0.4-mile  segment of Riverside Parkway from the intersection of Silvery Blue  Terrace to Smith Circle (east), beginning Thursday, April 15, 2021 and  ending in early fall 2021. The temporary traffic pattern allows  motorists to travel from Smith Circle (east) directly to this new  section of Riverside Parkway, recently constructed as part of an ongoing  roadway project. 

For the duration of the temporary traffic  pattern, only one eastbound and westbound lane of the new four-lane,  median-separated segment of Riverside Parkway will be open to traffic.  Drivers can anticipate turns onto and from connecting roadways to be  restricted to one direction and a four-way stop at the intersection of  Riverside Parkway, Smith Circle (west) and Garden Center Court. 

Electronic  message boards will be placed several days prior to the traffic change  to alert drivers in advance and will remain in place for approximately  three days after the new traffic pattern has been established. Drivers  are encouraged to proceed with caution and follow directions provided by  the posted signs.  

The Riverside Parkway project extends from  Silvery Blue Terrace to Loudoun County Parkway at George Washington  Boulevard. The project scope includes the construction of a new  four-lane, divided road segment, the removal of Lexington Drive on both  sides of Route 7, a new Loudoun Water main and the replacement of the  existing temporary traffic signal at Loudoun County Parkway and George  Washington Boulevard with a permanent signal. 

The completion of  Riverside Parkway, in conjunction with the planned Battlefield Parkway  interchange project, will improve traffic flow and will allow Route 7 to  operate as a freeway west of Countryside Boulevard in Loudoun County. 

Construction of this segment of Riverside Parkway is expected to be completed by the fall of 2021.

More information about this project and the Riverside Parkway temporary traffic plan can be found at loudoun.gov/riversideparkway.
