Intersection Improvement Program
Overview:
Loudoun County’s Intersection Improvement Program (IIP) addresses traffic safety and operational challenges on roadways within the county. It also identifies cost-effective solutions to enhance safety for all motorists, pedestrians and bicyclists.
Some program highlights:
- In 2017, the Loudoun County Board of Supervisors established the IIP as a proactive measure to efficiently initiate and implement roadway intersection improvement projects. Previously, these projects were often initiated on an ad-hoc basis in reaction to traffic safety and operational concerns, and were sometimes delayed until funds became available.
- To enhance responsiveness in addressing safety concerns, the Department of Transportation and Capital Infrastructure (DTCI) developed a data-driven plan to identify problematic intersections based on incidents and operations.
- Intersections identified for improvement as part of this program are located along primary or collector roadways in the Countywide Transportation Plan (CTP). CTP roadways are high volume or critical as they allow residents access to schools, public transportation and other areas of interest.
- Intersection improvement projects are initiated and advanced to design and implementation phases in descending priority order within the County’s Capital Improvement Program (CIP).
- Funding for intersection improvement projects began in the second half of 2021.
Intersection Projects
Each individual intersection improvement project follows the standard process for project initiation and advancement within the County’s CIP. From start to finish, the estimated timeline for the installation of a traffic signal is three years and a roundabout is five years. This timeline includes the design, land acquisition, utility relocation and construction phases of the project. The Intersection Improvement Program projects currently underway are listed in alphabetical order and are as follows:
