Transportation Alert:
(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 Fairfax County Department of Transportation (FCDOT) currently is close to intermediate plans (60%), and is working on environmental and some stormwater issues to complete this phase by Fall 2025. Once FCDOT receives the intermediate design plans, it will update the schedule.
The proposed improvements will significantly improve roadway alignment and safety.
FCDOT and Springfield Supervisor Pat Herrity held a virtual community information meeting on the Lee Chapel Road project on Tuesday, Dec. 10, 2024, at 7 p.m., to present proposed design plans, construction detours and timelines, and to obtain community feedback on the project.
The feedback period for public comments closed on Jan. 10, 2025.
