we just got the word that the widening project is officially moving forward. im honestly still in shock that we pushed this through but thank you for sticking with me. lets keep an eye on the construction crews to make sure they follow through.

The volume of daily traffic on Route 15 between Battlefield Parkway and Point of Rocks Bridge has been growing at a rate of 3% annually and without immediate widening, capacity is estimated to be at 34,940 vehicles in 5 years (an increase of almost 9,000 vehicles per day per year) and nearly 47,000 by 2037. It is no longer a Monday through Friday morning and evening commuting problem… congestion is early constant even on Saturdays and Sundays. In the past 10 years, there have been nearly 700 accidents on Rt. 15 North of Leesburg, more than 200 of which involved serious injuries or fatalities according to VDOT crash data.
The views and claims by special interest groups that the residents and businesses along Rt. 15 North of Leesburg do not support widening of Rt. 15 are NOT TRUE. We have responded to numerous surveys expressing our support. To be clear, we, the undersigned, taxpaying and voting residents of Loudoun County, demand that the Planning Commission and Loudoun County Board of Supervisors take action immediately to approve the widening of Rt. 15 to four lanes as far north as possible, medians wherever possible to prevent head on collisions, and shoulders for emergency pull-offs and for first responders to reach our communities.

Emergency responders getting to and residents’ ability to egress for emergencies is critical. Now it is stymied by the incessant, endless backups and lack of shoulders.
Please widen Route 15 - it is long overdue. Another death happened this week on 15. The traffic is horrible and quality of life is diminished - sometimes taking 30-45 mins to drive 2 miles (from Costco/Target) to the Raspberry Falls / Selma communities.
This dangerous road needs to be widened and have a median installed. It’s ridiculous that children have to sit at times an hours on the bus to get home in the afternoon due to traffic, it’s only 3 miles.
I’ve have lived in Lucketts 26 years. I commute to Herndon 5 days a week even during the pandemic. For the last 10+ years the worst part of my commute is Rt 15 between Lucketts & Leesburg . During rush hour it can be a parking lot. I’m tired of it!
The improvements are 20 years overdue. The road is not safe, listen to the people that actually live off the road and travel it on a daily basis not people that live in other parts of Loudoun who are buying land to prevent the widening.
WE LEAVE IN LUCKETTS AND THE TRAFFIC IS TERRIBLE!
Widen Hwy 15 north of Leesburg!

Hi, I am a new resident of village green community with a newborn at home. We do get bothered by the traffic on route 15, if we have any medical emergency. Would really appreciate if route 15 gets the expansion to four lanes.
