Last Segment of Riverside Parkway Opened to Traffic on September 14

Posted on September 14, 2021 at 9:00 AM by Shawn Zelman

The last segment of Riverside Parkway from Riverside Commons Plaza to Loudoun County Parkway opened to traffic today, September 14, 2021. This new segment has eliminated Lexington Drive and now extends Riverside Parkway from Riverside Commons Plaza to Loudoun County Parkway at George Washington Boulevard, completing a missing link in the county’s road network. It also provides the final roadway connection between River Creek Parkway and Loudoun County Parkway. Previously, vehicles traveling between these roadways had to use Route 7. 

Loudoun County celebrated the completion of construction for the Riverside Parkway project with a ribbon cutting ceremony on September 2, 2021. The Riverside Parkway project constructed a four-lane, median-divided roadway between Riverside Commons Plaza to Loudoun County Parkway at George Washington Boulevard. In addition to the removal of Lexington Drive on both sides of Route 7, the project included a new water main and replacement of the existing temporary traffic signal at Loudoun County Parkway and George Washington Boulevard with a permanent signal. 

The completion of the last segment of Riverside Parkway, in conjunction with the Battlefield Parkway Interchange project, improves traffic flow and allows Route 7 to operate as a freeway west of Countryside Boulevard in Loudoun County. The project also will improve connectivity among the Lexington 7, Potomac Farms, River Creek and University Center communities. It is expected this connectivity will divert local traffic from Route 7 to the completed Riverside Parkway corridor. 

More information about the project can be found at loudoun.gov/riversideparkway.

Loudoun County to Hold Ribbon Cutting for Riverside Parkway September 2

Posted on August 23, 2021 at 2:06 PM by Heidi Kellum

Loudoun County will hold a ribbon cutting ceremony to celebrate the completion of the final segment of Riverside Parkway Thursday, September 2, 2021, at 1:00 p.m. The Riverside Parkway segment has eliminated Lexington Drive and now extends Riverside Parkway from Riverside Commons Plaza to Loudoun County Parkway at George Washington Boulevard, completing a missing link in the county’s road network. This segment provides the final roadway connection between River Creek Parkway and Loudoun County Parkway. Previously, vehicles traveling between these roadways had to use Route 7. The roadway is currently scheduled to be open to traffic the week of September 5, 2021.

The event will take place on the new segment of Riverside Parkway, at the intersection of Loudoun County Parkway in the vicinity of 20065 Lakeview Center Plaza, Ashburn. To access the site from Route 7, take the Ashburn Village Boulevard exit north to Riverside Parkway. Turn right onto Riverside Parkway and drive approximately 1.5 miles to the marked-off ribbon cutting site at the intersection of Loudoun County Parkway. Currently there is no access to Riverside Parkway from Loudoun County Parkway. 

The Riverside Parkway project constructed a four-lane, median-divided roadway between Riverside Commons Plaza to Loudoun County Parkway at George Washington Boulevard. The project also included the removal of Lexington Drive on both sides of Route 7, a new water main and the replacement of the existing temporary traffic signal at Loudoun County Parkway and George Washington Boulevard with a permanent signal. 

The completion of Riverside Parkway, in conjunction with the Battlefield Parkway Interchange project, improves traffic flow and allows Route 7 to operate as a freeway west of Countryside Boulevard in Loudoun County. The project also will improve connectivity among the Lexington 7, Potomac Farms, River Crest and University Center communities. It is expected this connectivity will divert local traffic from Route 7 to the completed Riverside Parkway corridor. More information about the project can be found at loudoun.gov/riversideparkway.

Final Paving on Riverside Parkway Scheduled to Begin June 9

Posted on June 3, 2021 at 1:27 PM by Shawn Zelman

Update: Please note that the work on Riverside Parkway was originally scheduled to begin the week of June 14, 2021. The start date has been changed to Wednesday, June 9, 2021. 

Loudoun County is scheduled to begin the pavement milling, final paving and pavement marking operations on the new segment of Riverside Parkway Wednesday, June 9, 2021. The work is expected to continue through early July 2021, weather permitting. The roadwork, which will impact the entire length and intersections of the new Riverside Parkway project, will begin at the intersection of Loudoun County Parkway and George Washington Boulevard from the east and continue to Riverside Commons Plaza and the existing Riverside Parkway to the west.  

The work will be performed in the evening and early morning hours from 7:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m. and will include temporary and short-term traffic stoppages, lane closures and flagging operations. Motorists should expect minor delays at all intersections, including George Washington Boulevard, Smith Circle (east and west), Silvery Blue Terrace and Pearl Crescent Square. 

Once completed, the existing traffic pattern will remain in place until the traffic signals and pavement markings at the intersection of Loudoun County Parkway and George Washington Boulevard are placed in the final road configuration. The opening of the roadway to through traffic is expected later this year and will be announced once a date has been confirmed.

Electronic message boards alerting the public to the work will be posted prior to and during the construction. Drivers should plan ahead and use extra caution when traveling through the area and follow all directions from the posted signs, road crews and the Loudoun County Sherriff’s Office. 

This project will extend Riverside Parkway from Silvery Blue Terrace to Loudoun County Parkway at George Washington Boulevard. The scope of work includes the construction of a new four-lane, divided road segment, the removal of Lexington Drive on both sides of Route 7, a new Loudoun Water main, and the replacement of the existing temporary traffic signal at Loudoun County Parkway and George Washington Boulevard with a permanent signal. 

The completion of Riverside Parkway, in conjunction with the planned Battlefield Parkway Interchange project, will improve traffic flow and will allow Route 7 to operate as a freeway west of Countryside Boulevard in Loudoun County. 

Construction of this segment of Riverside Parkway is expected to be completed by the fall of 2021. 

More information about the project, including a link to sign up for updates, is online at loudoun.gov/riversideparkway.
