Dewberry, a privately held professional services firm, has announced that it has been selected by Loudoun County to provide engineering and construction support services for a new roundabout at the intersection of Route 50 and Trailhead Drive in Aldie, Virginia. The firm will complete all design elements, including roadway geometric design, hydraulic and stormwater management design, traffic control design, environmental permitting, and field surveys.
The project will include the design and construction of a hybrid roundabout, with provisions for future expansion in coordination with ongoing adjacent land development. The roundabout will include two westbound lanes to provide for left-turning and through traffic. The northbound approach from Trailhead Drive will include a bypass lane to eastbound Route 50.
“This project is going to have a large impact on the community,” says Dewberry Senior Associate and Senior Project Manager Carl Kaczmarek, PE. “We are excited to be able to provide our services to decrease congestion and improve safety.”
The $6-million design-build project is anticipated to begin construction at the end of 2023 and be completed by the end of 2024.
