New Traffic Pattern on Battlefield Parkway Between Dulles
Greenway and Masons Lane Will Begin January 10, 2018
Traffic will be shifted from Masons Lane onto the newly constructed section of
Battlefield Parkway.
Leesburg, VA (January 3, 2018 | Updated January 8, 2018) – As part of the construction of
Battlefield Parkway from South King Street (Route 15) to the Dulles Greenway, Masons Lane has
been realigned to intersect with Battlefield Parkway west of Evergreen Mill Road. Due to
inclement weather, the opening of the new section of Battlefield Parkway, originally planned for
Monday, January 8, 2018, will occur on Wednesday, January 10, 2018. That afternoon, traffic will
be shifted onto the realigned Masons Lane and the newly constructed westbound section of
Battlefield Parkway.
In addition, traffic on Battlefield Parkway between Evergreen Mill Road and the Dulles Greenway
will be shifted on the newly constructed westbound lanes, to allow reconstruction of the existing
lanes. Drivers are cautioned to be aware of these changes in traffic patterns and remain alert
when traveling in this area.
When completed, Battlefield Parkway will have two travel lanes in each direction, separated by
a landscaped median, from South King Street to the Dulles Greenway. The entire project is
expected to be completed in late summer 2018.
For more information about the project, please contact Walid Quttaineh, Project Manager, at
wquttaineh@leesburgva.gov or 703-737-7055.
