Oakton Congestion and Safety Study
Oakton Congestion and Safety Study
The Fairfax County Department of Transportation (FCDOT) is conducting a congestion mitigation and safety study for the Oakton area. The study originated from a Follow-On Motion authorized by the Board of Supervisors in response to the approval of the AT&T Oakton site specific plan amendment. The study will include transportation analysis to test the effects on congestion from enhanced, modified, and/or new roadway connections, lane configurations, and other improvements. Recommended improvements to congestion will also consider the impacts to the bicycle, pedestrian, and bus networks in the study area, including expected impacts to safety for all roadway users. Input from community members will help determine recommendations for near-term and long-term improvements, and the study report will provide planning level cost and implementation schedule estimates.
Traffic data was collected and analyzed within the Oakton study area, which includes 21 intersections along Chain Bridge Road, Jermantown Road, Blake Lane, and Hunter Mill Road. Please refer to the presentation posted on the project webpage for information on the transportation assessment.
Oakton Congestion and Safety Study: Community Survey
These suggestions were generated from community input during the meeting on November 13, 2025. FCDOT has provided pros and cons for each concept based on its knowledge of existing conditions. At this stage, the survey is intended to gauge interest from the broader Oakton community. Note that all potential recommendations will need further study and coordination with and approval from Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) prior to implementation.
FCDOT invites residents and commuters to share feedback by Friday, April 10, 2026.
