Project Background

The City of Fairfax has awarded a $1.73M construction contract to Virginia Paving for roadbed reconstruction and paving of Fairfax Boulevard between Draper Drive and Fairfax Circle.

The pavement in the right lane of eastbound Fairfax Blvd. is cracking and deteriorating due to soft base materials under the roadway. Roadbed reconstruction is a process where the base soils are excavated and replaced with stable compacted stone material. This provides a solid foundation for the pavement and will prevent premature deterioration. All six lanes of Fairfax Blvd. will be repaved at the end of the project.

Traffic Impacts

Roadbed reconstruction requires deeper excavation and more time than road surface paving, so lane closures for extended durations will be necessary. Motorists can expect continuous weekend lane closures from Friday evening to Monday morning for roadbed reconstruction in the right lane of eastbound Fairfax Boulevard.

More specific information on lane closures will be provided as we get closer to construction.
