Most of Fairfax County Parkway to be Repaved Soon

Over the spring and summer, the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) plans to repave 24 miles of the 32-mile, six-lane Fairfax County Parkway between Route 7 in Dranesville and Rolling Road in Springfield. The $19 million maintenance project will take place mostly at night and on weekends, and will require lane closures and occasional detours.
In advance of the work, VDOT will hold four community meetings along the corridor to communicate the work plan and schedule. Each meeting will begin at 7 p.m.
•April 11: Armstrong Elementary School, Reston
•April 17: Robinson Secondary School, Fairfax
•April 24: VDOT District Office, 4975 Alliance Drive, Fairfax
•May 2: West Springfield High School, Springfield
While work will begin in April and be complete in October, the work that will have the greatest effect on traffic will be scheduled from June until Labor Day, when Fairfax County schools are out for the summer.
Crews will re-pave the northern section of the Parkway first, from Route 7 to Baron Cameron Avenue (Route 606).
Sections of the Parkway that will not be repaved include the construction work zone area at Fair Lakes Parkway and locations that were paved in the last five years.

Here's an idea: ditch the meetings & put the $ into roads.

Since when is the FC Parkway a 6-lane highway?
