VDOT to Hold Public Hearing on the Sycolin Overpass Design
The public hearing will be held in the lower level of the Leesburg Town Hall from 6 to 8 p.m. on Thursday, May 17.
Officials from the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) will hold a public hearing on the design of the Sycolin Road Overpass on Thursday, May 17. The public hearing will be held in the lower level of the from 6 to 8 p.m.
The project will build an overpass to carry Sycolin Road over the Route 7/15 Bypass and remove the existing signalized intersection. The new bridge over the bypass will include two northbound and two southbound travel lanes, a sidewalk along the southbound lands and a barrier-separated shared-use path along the northbound lanes.
Once the overpass is completed, the existing turn lanes from the bypass to Sycolin Road, both north- and south-bound, will be removed. Access to the Bypass from Sycolin Road will be primarily via Battlefield Parkway and the Dulles Greenway. Construction is expected to begin in 2013.
