Road Safety & Maintenance

Responsibility for road maintenance varies by road. Most roads are maintained either by the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT), by one of the county's incorporated towns, or by a private entity, such as a homeowners association (HOA). Maintenance responsibilities include the pavement and snow removal.

How to Use the Road Maintenance Map

The Loudoun County Road Maintenance Map is an interactive online tool to help you determine the entity that is responsible for maintaining each road in Loudoun County. To use the map, enter a Loudoun County street address in the search box. The color-coded map legend indicates road maintenance responsibility. Click on any road for pop-up information about the road and road maintenance. Additional functions are available in the toolbar on the interactive map.

Note: As newly constructed roads are developed, maintenance responsibility may change from one entity to another, such as from a developer to a homeowners association. Loudoun County’s map is updated on a monthly basis.
