Braddock Road: FCDOT and VDOT are proposing to add buffered or standard bike lanes between Belle Pond Drive and Sully Station Drive where space allows by narrowing travel lanes or converting underutilized travel lanes where feasible. No impacts to traffic operations are expected.
Centreville Farms Road: FCDOT and VDOT are proposing to convert the outside travel lanes to buffered bike lanes between Lee Highway and Stringfellow Road. No impacts to traffic operations are expected.
FCDOT and VDOT are considering upgrades to the following crosswalk locations, which may include marked crosswalks, high-visibility crosswalks and/or crosswalk signage:
- Newton Patent Drive at Awbrey Patent Drive

Background
As part of its annual maintenance, VDOT repaves hundreds of roads in Fairfax County each year. FCDOT and VDOT collaborate during the repaving and restriping process to efficiently implement the Fairfax County Comprehensive Plan that seeks to improve traffic safety and provide transportation options to people around the County.
Paving work is scheduled to begin in April and conclude in November. Exact work dates are available about ten days prior to work beginning, as contractors set schedules based on personnel and equipment availability. In subdivisions, "no parking" signs with precise date information will be posted at least three business days prior to work starting. Residents can expect work vehicles in their neighborhood during the project. Motorists are asked to be alert to temporary traffic patterns. Cars, basketball hoops or garbage cans may need to be temporarily relocated while work is under way. Work hours are usually limited to outside of rush hours. Crews typically work on neighborhood streets weekdays from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. On other roads such as interstates and some primaries, work may occur overnight.
