New Traffic Pattern for Belmont Ridge Road Begins December 13

Posted on December 13, 2023 at 9:04 AM by Heidi Kellum

On or about December 13, 2023, weather permitting, traffic in the northbound and southbound lanes of Belmont Ridge Road will be switched onto new roadway alignments between Croson Lane and Truro Parish Drive. Lanes will continue to be a single lane in each direction but will shift as more of the subsurface work is completed and more of the travel lanes are built to their final configuration.  

Drivers should use extra caution when traveling through this area on these dates and follow all directions from the posted signs and road crews who will use brief traffic stoppages when shifting traffic to new lane alignments. 

About the Project

This project reconstructs and widens Belmont Ridge Road between Truro Parish Drive and Croson Lane from the existing two-lane rural road to a modern four-lane, median-divided, suburban roadway, with shared-use paths for pedestrians and bicyclists on each side. Project benefits include alleviating traffic in the corridor, providing active transportation solutions, and connecting commuters to major activity and employment centers.

Funding for this regionally significant project is from Loudoun County, NVTA and the state’s Revenue Sharing Program administered by VDOT-LAP. Construction is expected to be completed by summer 2024.

New Traffic Pattern, Lanes Shifting

Posted on October 24, 2023 at 7:57 AM by Shawn Zelman

On or about November 1 and 3, 2023, weather permitting, Belmont Ridge Road in northbound and southbound traffic will be switched on to new separated roadway alignments between Croson Lane and Truro Parish Drive. Lanes will continue to be a single lane in each direction, but without the temporary crossover lanes. Modifications to turn lanes and crossovers will occur for the intersections at Croson Lane, Alford Road, Cochrans Lock Drive, Reservoir Ridge Place, Mount Hope Road, Waxpool Road, and Truro Parish Drive. 

Drivers should use extra caution when traveling through this area on these dates and follow all directions from the posted signs and road crews who will use brief traffic stoppages to connect new alignments and guide traffic to sections of newly opened roadway.

Nighttime Paving Work on Belmont Ridge Road to Begin September 28

Posted on September 27, 2023 at 3:13 PM by Heidi Kellum

Starting on or about Thursday, September 28, 2023, nighttime paving work on Belmont Ridge Road will occur in the southbound lanes between the hours of 7 p.m. and 12 p.m. through Friday, September 29. If weather delays occur, work will continue each day until it is completed. Residents may hear some construction noise associated with the paving. 

No traffic impacts are anticipated as the roadway will remain diverted around the work area. Drivers are advised to follow directions from road signs and crews, and to use extra caution when traveling through the work area.
