FABB discusses Lorton Road bike lanes with Fairfax County DOT
FABB was recently invited to review proposed bike lanes on the Lorton Road widening project. The road will be widened from 2 to 4 lanes between Route 123 and Silverbrook Rd. There is also a short section of Furnace Rd to be widened from Lorton Rd to Hooes Rd. Both segments will include bike lanes. We discussed various design issues, including routing of the bike lanes through major intersections.This is one of the few projects conducted by the county and not VDOT, although VDOT is involved in the design and approval process. Several issues still need to be resolved and we will continue to work with the county and VDOT as the project progresses. Our contact is the project manager, Jeanmarie Roberson with Fairfax Co DOT.
