Motorist Alert: Tall Cedars Pkwy Construction Started

LOUDOUN COUNTY, VA — A groundbreaking ceremony was held on Tuesday, Oct. 18 to celebrate the start of construction of a missing segment of Tall Cedars Parkway, according to a Loudoun County Government announcement.

The project constructs a parallel road to Route 50, which will allow residents in communities, such as South Riding, Avonlea and Stone Ridge, to travel locally without having to drive on Route 50.

The scope of work includes a four-lane roadway, an intersection and signal improvements. Loudoun County will manage construction; however, once complete, the road will be turned over to the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) or operation and maintenance.

Total cost for the road construction project is budgeted at $13,188,300. In July, the county awarded a contract for construction to Phillips Construction, LLC. The construction phase is expected to last for 18 months with completion of the road segment slated for spring 2018.
