Project Information

Lee Chapel Road Image(Updated August 2025) Lee Chapel Road between Ox Road (Rt. 123) and Fairfax County Parkway is a minor arterial that is narrow, two-lane road with severe hills. Fairfax County is in the preliminary design phase of the project to remove the two vertical curves along a portion of Lee Chapel Road approximately between the bridge over South Run and the intersection of Pond Point Road. The project does not envision widening the road; the road will remain two lanes but will be brought up to current design standards. The proposed improvements will significantly improve roadway alignment and safety. 

The project is currently in the pre-final (90%) design phase.

  • 90% Design Completion – Early Summer 2026
