Proposed: I-495 Northbound Limited Access Control Change near Corporate Ridge in Fairfax County

Please note: The public comment period is closed.

VDOT is accepting comments regarding a proposed limited access control change along northbound I-495 (Capital Beltway Inner Loop) near the terminus of Corporate Ridge.

The purpose of this requested change in the limited access line is to allow the construction of a sidewalk that will provide a pedestrian connection to the existing 14-foot shared-use trail which connects Magarity Road to the commercial core of Tysons.

The proposed sidewalk requires approval to construct within the existing I-495 limited access line on the private property side of the existing I-495 sound wall. The sidewalk would run parallel to the sound wall and existing drainage facility. 

The proposed lateral shift in limited access is approximately 6.5 to 13.5 feet and occurs over 195 feet. This project will involve changes in limited access control.

You may view the context plan or review materials during business hours at VDOT's Northern Virginia District Office, 4975 Alliance Drive, Fairfax, VA 22030; please contact VDOT project manager Sid Siddiqui in advance at 703-259-3225 or TTY/TDD 711.

Comments on the proposed limited access control change may be sent to Mr. Sid Siddiqui, P.E. at the above address or Sid [email protected] on or prior to October 10, 2023. Please reference "I-495 Northbound Limited Access Control Change near Corporate Ridge" in the subject line.
