Northstar Blvd: Route 50 to Tall Cedars Parkway
Overview
This project provides for the planning, design, right of way acquisition (ROW) and construction of a segment of Northstar Boulevard, a minor arterial roadway, from John Mosby Highway (Route 50) to Tall Cedars Parkway.
The plans include the construction of a new signalized intersection on Route 50 located near the Virginia Department of Transportation’s (VDOT) Arcola maintenance area headquarters.
The proposed project involves the construction of approximately 3,500 feet of four lane median divided minor arterial roadway, with turn lanes at the following intersecting roads: Route 50, Marrwood Drive, and Tall Cedars Parkway. The project also includes 10-foot-wide shared use paths on both sides of the road.
Traffic signals with pedestrian controls will be installed at the Route 50 and Tall Cedars Parkway intersections as part of this project.
When completed, this segment of Northstar Boulevard will provide an alternative north/south connection to Route 50, improving capacity and safety on existing roadway networks within the Dulles South area.
The $45.8M project budget includes 70% funding from the Northern Virginia Transportation Authority (NVTA).
Public input on the design was solicited during a Public Information Meeting held on Tuesday December 15, 2015 at Arcola Elementary School in Arcola, Virginia from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.
Estimated completion of the roadway is currently late 2023/early 2024.
Crews are currently clearing the project area of vegetation and establishing erosion and sediment controls. Earthwork activities will be ongoing through winter 2022.
Over the next several weeks, dry utility coordination with vendors will continue and work to install a new 24” water line to replace an existing water line that’s currently in the way of the new road will begin.
Work to install rebar for support of the bridge structure that will cross the south fork of Broad Run is currently estimated to begin February 2022, weather permitting.
