Westfields Transportation News:

The WBOA has been very concerned with the traffic buildup at Rt 66 and Rt 28.   Traffic has increased over the years to include very real safety concerns on Rt 66 and Rt 28 in the AM and PM rush hours.  The WBOA will continue to push our County, State, and Federal officials to make this a priority for resolution.   We ask that all property owners, tenants, and employees, homeowners get involved and let your elected official know how concern you are.  Also get engaged and aware of these and other issues by joining the Dulles Area Transportation Association (DATA)

VDOT has now opened up a study on this issue.   Please see the link to VDOT's Rt 66/28 website for this project.

With the help from Supervisor Frey's office, we have provided you a list of road transportation improvements to help alleviate some of the traffic congestion in and around Westfields:
