VDOT is working to improve safety, reduce congestion, and help increase the community’s multimodal options along about three miles of Richmond Highway (Route 1) from Jeff Todd Way to Sherwood Hall Lane (Route 626). This project will:

  • Widen Richmond Highway from four to six lanes
  • Add separate bicycle lanes and sidewalks on both sides of the road
  • Reserve median width to accommodate Fairfax County’s future dedicated bus-only lanes

All pedestrian and bicycle facilities will be ADA-compliant, turn lanes will be extended wherever possible to improve safety and capacity, and signals throughout the corridor will be optimized.
