Magarity Road Closing Wednesday-Friday Night

Notice from the Dulles Metro Rail Project: Metro construction will close  Magarity Road  on or about May 19 through 21 between Olney Road and Great Falls Streets between 9 p.m. and 6 a.m., weather permitting.

The closing is necessary for safety reasons while steel is erected on a new bridge that will carry the Silver Line 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.

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 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 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.

For all work performed during overnight hours, construction crews operate under a Noise Variance from Fairfax County.  There may be intermittent periods of construction noise associated with equipment movement and placing and securing the steel girders.  For construction-related emergencies including noise, please use the project HOTLINE at 877-585-6789.
