Members of the community suggested the County research pedestrian overpasses as part of the Braddock Road Multimodal Study. The overpasses would provide an "elevated crossing alternative" that would not affect traffic flow at major intersections on Braddock Road. After receiving feedback from the community and the Braddock Road Task Force, the County has proposed an overpass across Braddock Road between Red Fox Drive (East) and the Burke Lake Road/Woodland Way intersection.

In addition, the County also offered the option of placing an overpass across Braddock Road between the Kings Park Drive intersection and the Stone Haven Drive intersection or across Braddock Road between the Southampton Drive intersection and the Wakefield Chapel Road intersection (closer to Wakefield Chapel Road). Ultimately, the location of additional overpasses would depend on community interest. The County is open to any viable location with community support.

Residents who attend the meeting can learn about and comment on the proposed pedestrian crossings, the designs being considered, and possible locations for additional crossings. Please contact the Braddock District office by email or call 703-425-9300 with any questions.
