Project Description:
- This project is the construction of a new north-south roadway between Fairfax Blvd/Farr Avenue and Orchard Street to create a grid network within the northwest quadrant of Fairfax Blvd/Chain Bridge Road (“Northfax”).
- By providing an expanded grid within the Northfax area, the City seeks to reduce congestion at the Route 123/50/29 intersection, provide an expanded network for non-motorized traffic, and provide local access to existing commercial properties and future mixed-use redevelopment areas.
- This project is a component of a larger set of Northfax Network Improvements, many of which are already underway.
