Braddock Road Centreville

This is one of the few remaining abandoned segments of the old route of Braddock Road through Centreville. It will no doubt be obliterated by the new I66/R28 interchange in a few years.

Nice post.

But how are they going to do anything with that development right there? It would be right in their yard.

The work on the new interchange opened another segment of the old Braddock Road.

In these two photos you can see the old roadbed in a very short section between I66 and Braddock Road. It's covered with dirt now but if dig a little you can find asphalt.

And yes, it is being obliterated.
