Old Courthouse Road Realignment Project

Project Background

Old Courthouse Road Map November 2023The proposed improvements will realign Old Courthouse Road and raise the roadway to help improve safety and minimize roadway flooding. The project includes roadway reconstruction, new pedestrian/bicycle connection and replacing the substandard culvert with a new structure. The total project length is approximately 1,000 feet along Old Courthouse Road and 150 feet along Besley Road.

Update September 2025: This project had unforeseen site conditions that prevented the piles for the bridge to be driven as designed. The construction of the bridge was put on hold for a redesign, which has been completed. The Fairfax County Department of Transportation is negotiating the updated construction cost for the revised bridge with the contractor. Once these costs are agreed upon, construction will continue and FCDOT will update the schedule below.
