Magarity Road to Close Overnight Sept. 8-9; Detour Planned

From Dulles Corridor Metrorail Project:

Drivers who use Magarity Road in the McLean/Falls Church/Tysons Corner area should expect delays in the overnight hours Thursday, Sept. 8, and Friday, Sept. 9 when Magarity Road is scheduled to be closed at the Dulles Connector Road (Route 267) overpass between 9 p.m. and 6 a.m.

The closing is necessary for safety reasons while crews work on the new bridge that will carry tracks for the Dulles Corridor Metrorail Project in the median of the Dulles Connector Road across Magarity Road.

Magarity Road runs north/south parallel to Route 123 from Great Falls Street to Route 7. All side streets south of the Connector Road along Magarity will be open. Magarity Road from Olney Road south toward Route 7 will not be affected.

However, residents of Pimmit Hills, the Commons and other residential areas along Magarity seeking to travel northbound on Magarity Road toward Great Falls Street in McLean will be detoured to make a left turn on to Anderson Road, to a right on [Old] Chain Bridge Road to return to Great Falls Street at the first traffic signal.

Drivers from the McLean area who use Magarity Road to access Route 7, Pimmit Hills and commercial developments off Anderson Road can use Route 123 south to a left turn at Anderson Road to return to Magarity beyond the work zone, or use [Old] Chain Bridge Road to a left turn on Anderson Road to a right on Magarity. Drivers northbound along Magarity toward McLean will be rerouted to Anderson Road to Chain Bridge Road or Route 123.

Motorists should exercise caution and be alert to signs and detours in these areas. Police will be on site to help ensure safety. The work will be postponed in case of inclement weather.

Pimmit Hills, founded in 1950, is located next to the Tysons Corner area in Virginia and is one of the largest communities in Fairfax County with over 1,640 homes.
