Herndon Parking Garage To Be Shut Down For Months: County

HERNDON, VA -- If you use the Herndon-Monroe Park and Ride facility, you're going to experience some disruption for the next few months.

Fairfax County announced recently that, effective April 8, "the existing parking garage will close for a period of months in order to make necessary improvements," and all parking will be relocated to the first three levels of the new garage, the county said in a statement.

"Work continues on the Herndon-Monroe Park and Ride facilities in preparation for the new Herndon Metrorail Station and the arrival of Silver Line Phase 2 service," the statement reads. "With construction of the new garage nearing completion, work now begins on the existing parking garage."

As a result of the relocation, there will be new pickup and drop-off locations for ridesharing, which will be temporarily relocated to Level 1 of the new garage.

There will also be other changes, including a temporary detour.

"Please note- there will be no direct access between the Herndon Monroe facility and the Dulles Toll Road," the statement reads. "All vehicles entering and exiting the facility must use Sunrise Valley Drive via Fairfax County Parkway. Access to eastbound Dulles Toll Road from the facility will resume in late April when the renovation of the toll booth at this location is complete."
