Fairfax County
“It’s a go for the controversial roundabout planned for
construction at the Braddock/Pleasant Valley roads intersection next to Cox
Farms in Centreville. Tuesday morning, Jan. 14, the Fairfax County Board of
Supervisors endorsed Supervisor Michael R. Frey’s (R-Sully) motion of ‘no
opposition’ to it, by an 8-2 vote…
Near the Fairfax/Loudoun border, that intersection regularly
backs up at rush hour. So, at Loudoun’s urging, VDOT plans to build a 105-foot
circle to move vehicles through there more quickly. The $4.1 million project is
funded by Loudoun, state and federal money.
But many residents in nearby Centreville communities are
adamantly opposed to it. Those living along Braddock and Pleasant Valley roads
say they won’t be able to get out of their streets due to the steady stream of
Loudoun drivers on both roads. They say a roundabout would dramatically favor
Loudoun residents, to the detriment of Fairfax drivers.”
