Belmont Ridge Road Widening Near Completion In Loudoun County

ASHBURN, VA — A widening project on a portion of Belmont Ridge Road in Loudoun County is nearly completed, but some work may continue through December.

Belmont Ridge Road, one of the key north-south routes in the county, was widened between Truro Parish Drive and Croson Lane. The two-lane rural road is now a four-lane suburban road with a median divider and shared-use paths on each side for pedestrians and bicyclists.

According to the county, northbound and southbound lanes on Belmont Ridge Road and most intersections are open, including the intersections at Croson Lane, Cochrans Lock Drive, Alford Road, Reservoir Ridge Place, Mount Hope Road, Waxpool Road, Truro Parish, and Black Angus Drive. The shared-use path between Parish Road (Tillet Park) and Croson Lane (Brambleton Park) is open as well.

The county expects to announce a ribbon cutting ceremony for the project in the coming weeks.

Drivers can expect lane closures for a short time during weekdays through December. If the road work requires a lane closure, it would happen between 9 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. Monday to Thursday and 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Friday. Drivers are advised to use caution in the area and follow direction from signage and road crews.

The project received funding through Loudoun County, Northern Virginia Transportation Authority and the state's revenue-sharing program through VDOT.
