Jermantown Road Corridor Improvements
This west side of Fairfax City is growing and changing. Homes, schools, offices, stores, and bus stops are located along Jermantown Road between Route 50 and I-66. The road provides an important connection to Fairfax County. Improvements in the corridor are needed.
Fairfax City began planning for this project in 2018. The city received $21M from the Northern Virginia Transportation Authority for this project in 2019. The project team studied the Jermantown Road corridor, and a concept plan was created to improve it. Recommended improvements include:
- Make the road wider in some areas
- Make the road safer for walking and biking
- Make it easier to access bus stops
- Reduce the number of driveways
The project was reintroduced to the city council during a work session on May 9, 2023. Watch the discussion. View the presentation.

Map
Identify locations along the Jermantown Road project corridor (outlined in blue) where things work well and where you think they could be better.
Place GREEN pins on the map where you think things are currently working well. For example:
- Pleasant streetscapes (e.g., shade, benches)
- Safe places to cross the road
- Comfortable bus stops
- Places where it’s usually easy to make turns
Place RED pins on the map where you have concerns about walking, biking, catching the bus, or driving on Jermantown Road. For example:
- Difficult/unsafe places to walk or bike
- Places that feel unsafe to cross
- Uncomfortable places to wait for the bus
- Places with long waits to turn
- Confusing intersections
- Conflicts with other road users (e.g., drivers blocking crosswalks, pedestrians crossing between intersections, bicyclists riding on the sidewalk, etc.)
