VIENNA – The Virginia Department of Transportation will hold a virtual design public hearing Wednesday, Nov. 17 on plans to construct bicycle and pedestrian improvements near the Vienna Metro station along Country Creek Road/ Virginia Center Boulevard between Sutton Road and the ramp to westbound I-66, and along Sutton Road between Blake Lane and Country Creek Road.

VDOT and Fairfax County plan to make the following interim improvements:

• Creating a separated two-way cycle track on eastbound Country Creek Road/Virginia Center Boulevard between Sutton Road and the Metro North Parking Lot entrance by restriping and installing posts or barriers for separation
• Adding a buffered bike lane on Sutton Road between Sutton Green Court and Country Creek Road
• Upgrading pedestrian signals
• Installing related signs and pavement markings

Proposed final improvements include:

• Constructing shared-use paths along Blake Lane and Sutton Road from the I-66 bridge to Country Creek Road
• Adding a separated two-way cycle track with adjacent sidewalk along Country Creek Road/Virginia Center Boulevard 
• Implementing a road diet along Country Creek Road/Virginia Center Boulevard from Sutton Road to the Metro North Parking Lot entrance
• Consolidating and relocating bus stops for improved transit access
• Realigning the I-66 westbound ramp to Country Creek Road
• Modifying the traffic signals at the intersections of Sutton Road and Blake Lane, Country Creek Road and the ramp from westbound I-66, and Country Creek Road and Vaden Drive.

The project is financed with federal, state and Fairfax County funding.
