Through the weekend, the Fairfax County Parkway will also be reduced to one lane southbound between Fair Lakes Circle and the Route 29 interchange (about 4300 feet). Drivers are asked to use alternate routes through this area to avoid delays.

The entire project is scheduled for completion in 2013.

The $69.5 million interchange at Fairfax County Parkway and Fair Lakes Parkway will improve pedestrian and cyclist access, widen more than 3 miles of the Fairfax County Parkway, and improve traffic flow by separating local and Parkway traffic through this busy area.
