Road Closure and Detour at Lutheran Church Road in Lovettsville

Posted on July 27, 2023 at 1:38 PM by Shawn Zelman

On or about July 31 through August 11, 2023, weather permitting, access to Lutheran Church Road at Berlin Turnpike in Lovettsville will be temporarily closed to vehicular traffic during daytime hours.  A detour will be put in place to direct traffic around Lutheran Church Road to avoid construction of sanitary sewer improvements associated with the new Lovettsville Fire & Rescue #12 Replacement Station. Drivers should use extra caution when traveling through this area and follow all directions from the posted signs and road crews.

Construction will take place from 9:00 a.m. until 3:30 p.m., Monday through Thursday and 9:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m. on Fridays. The entrance to the Heritage Highlands Retirement Community at Harper’s Mill Way will remain open during construction and will not be impacted by the detour plans. 

Drivers should follow the detour to enter and exit from Lutheran Church Road to Berlin Turnpike utilizing Householder Road and Axline Road. See detour map

Posted on March 13, 2023 at 10:05 AM by Heidi Kellum

Beginning the week of March 13, 2023, contractors will begin installing stormwater management controls and clearing trees at the location of the new Lovettsville Fire & Rescue Station #12 Replacement project adjacent to the existing Fire & Rescue Station on Berlin Turnpike.

The existing Fire & Rescue Station will remain operational throughout the duration of construction with minimal disruptions as construction entrances will be located off Berlin Turnpike and Lutheran Church Road. 

Located on Berlin Turnpike in Lovettsville, the current Lovettsville Fire & Rescue Station building was erected in 1974 and has had two subsequent additions built. Fire & Rescue Station #12 houses an engine, tanker, basic life support ambulance and brush truck. Construction is estimated to be completed in fall 2024.

Design work continues for the new Lovettsville Fire and Rescue Station to be constructed in Lovettsville, Virginia as a replacement for the current station building. The replacement station will be located adjacent to the existing station on Lovettsville Fire Rescue Company property that will be annexed to the Town of Lovettsville. 

Over the last several weeks, the project design team reviewed and approved the revised mechanical system design, which is currently 35% complete and the design consultant for the project submitted construction documents to Loudoun County for review and approval. The design phase for this Lovettsville Fire Station project is estimated for completion in winter 2022. Currently, construction is estimated to be completed in summer 2023.

Located on Berlin Turnpike in Lovettsville, VA, the current Lovettsville Fire Station building was erected in 1974 and has had two subsequent additions built. Fire station 12 houses an engine, tanker, basic life support ambulance and brush truck.
