📌 Route 9 and Route 287 Roundabout
Please be aware of the construction at Route 9 and Route 287 which may significantly impact daily commutes of drivers who travel roadways connecting to this intersection. Initial construction has begun for the initial phases of the project, which includes a new roundabout at the intersection of Route 9 and Route 287 and widened roadway approaches to the intersection. Current construction activity includes:
• Installing temporary signage
• Clearing and removing roots and stumps
• Implementing erosion and sediment controls
🦺 Traffic Shifts and Lane Closures
Throughout the construction, significant traffic shifts are anticipated. The first impact is expected in early November 2025. Construction is expected to continue through the summer of 2027. Temporary signage will be installed to guide drivers safely through the construction zone. Drivers are advised to pay attention to these signs, as they will provide critical information about lane closures, detours and speed limits. Construction zones can be unpredictable, with workers and equipment present.
Drivers should reduce their speed, maintain a safe following distance, and be prepared for sudden stops or changes in traffic patterns. Drivers should remain vigilant, as these shifts will impact travel patterns in the area.
📲 Stay Informed
Drivers can learn about traffic impacts throughout the county and stay informed about the project, which may help drives bypass potential congestion, by subscribing to email and text updates for the “Traffic and Road Closures” category in Alert Loudoun and by subscribing to Route 9/287 project updates at loudoun.gov/Route9-287.
For more information about this project, please visit Loudoun County’s website at https://www.loudoun.gov/5214/Route-9-287-Roundabout.
🦺 While construction at the Route 9 and Route 287 interchange may pose temporary challenges, completion of the project will significantly reduce existing traffic congestion, improve safety and provide a long-term, cost-effective solution for future roadway operation and maintenance. By staying informed and exercising caution, drivers can navigate this transition smoothly.
Construction is currently estimated for substantial completion in the summer of 2027.
