Preferred Improvement Option

Hunter Mill Road and Sunset Hills Road Study
22
Description:
Study alternatives along Hunter Mill Road and realignment options from Dulles Toll Road to Crowell Road, with
roundabouts as the intersection control. Alternatives are meant to address congestion; address queuing along
Hunter Mill Road and Sunset Hills Road; improve access to the Dulles Toll Road by minimizing congestion; and
maintain Hunter Mill Road’s character by applying context sensitive solutions.
Recommendation:
Sunset Hills Road as it terminates at Hunter Mill Road provides for the primary access to the Dulles Toll Road for the
residential areas and commercial office areas within the eastern periphery of Reston. To facilitate this access and
provide better spacing between intersections, Sunset Hills Road should be realigned east of the Edlin School to
Crowell Road to create a four-leg intersection. A roundabout is the preferred control at this intersection, and in the
vicinity of the intersection the realignment, should go no farther north than Crowell Road. The realignment should
avoid adverse impacts to the Resource Protection Area. When the road is designed, the distance from the Hunting
Crest community should be maximized, noise impact studies should be conducted, and there should be no direct or
indirect connection to Hunting Crest Way. The realigned Sunset Hills Road should retain the minor paved trail
designation for Sunset Hills Road recommended in the Countywide Trails Plan
Status:
• Study completed
• Comprehensive plan amendment changes have been adopted by the board on March 6, 2018
Total Project Estimate and Schedule:
TBD

Hunter Mill Road and Sunset Hills Road Study
Update:
Plan Amendment (PA) 2017-III-T1
March 6, 2018:
Board of Supervisors approved Plan Amendment (PA)
2017-III-T1 to show the realignment of Sunset Hills
Road to Crowell Road, the widening of Hunter Mill
Road to four lanes between Crowell Road and Sunrise
Valley Drive, the removal of the modifications to the
westbound Dulles Toll Road Ramps, and to include
consideration for a roundabout at the intersection of
Hunter Mill Road and the realigned Sunset Hills
Road/Crowell Road at the time the realignment of
Sunset Hills Road occurs.
Next Steps:
• Identify funding for initial design.
23

Town Center Parkway DTR Underpass

Fairfax County Parkway at Sunrise Valley Drive
Interim Improvement
Description:
This project will improve the capacity of the intersection. Geometric and operational changes are
proposed along the northbound and westbound approaches to the intersection. The northbound right-
turn lane would be converted to a shared through and right-turn lane. An additional westbound
through lane would be added to allow for two left-turn lanes. Other improvements include
bike/pedestrian facility enhancement and additional guidance signs.
Dulles Rail Phase 2 is responsible for a project to improve eastbound left turn capacity.
• ~$1-2 million
• The Reston Service District Advisory Board and County Board of Supervisors have approved
$500k for the project
Status:
• Procuring consultant and finalizing contract scope
