Lee Chapel Road Gets Major Safety Overhaul

Lee Chapel Road in Fairfax County is finally getting the safety overhaul it’s long needed, following a tragic 2023 crash that killed two teens and injured another — sparking a community outcry and a 14,000-signature petition. Residents have long warned about dangerous visibility issues and over two dozen crashes on the stretch, with families still reeling from the loss. The county plans to shut down the road for construction starting summer 2028, smoothing hazardous hills described as an “attractive nuisance,” with completion expected by spring 2029 — a long-awaited step toward safer streets.
