The Fairfax County Department of Transportation held an online community meeting to discuss the Backlick Road Spot Improvements project on Dec. 16, 2020, at 7 p.m. FCDOT staff presented the project design, impacts and upcoming tasks.
Comments were accepted through Dec. 31, 2020.
The project was originated to improve the congestion and safety of the intersection at Backlick Road and Industrial Road by adding an exclusive northbound left turn lane. Plans also include the construction of approximately 1,250 feet of sidewalk on the east side of Backlick Road, extending to the north and south of Industrial Road, which will complete a missing link.
