Route 29 Study (Summit Drive to Jermantown Road)

Route 29 Study (Summit Drive to Jermantown Road)

The Fairfax County Department of Transportation (FCDOT) is conducting a study on the Route 29 corridor, between Buckleys Gate Drive/Summit Drive near the Fairfax County Parkway (VA 286) and Jermantown Road. The purpose of this study is to reassess the long-term needs of the corridor and develop solutions that serve residents and commuters, including multimodal options. Feedback from this survey will help inform the Fairfax County Comprehensive Transportation Plan. 

FCDOT is asking for feedback by the close of business on Friday, March 1, and will present the survey results at a virtual public meeting on Tuesday, March 12, at 7 p.m. 

For more information on the study and public meeting, please visit the Route 29 study webpage.
