On October 19, 2023, Loudoun County, in partnership with the Northern Virginia Transportation Authority (NVTA) and the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT), held the official Ribbon Cutting ceremony for the Northstar Boulevard – Phase II project. Shirley Contracting Company, LLC is the general contractor for the project and Dewberry is the designer.

This project constructed a segment of Northstar Boulevard from Route 50 to Tall Cedars Parkway, addressing traffic congestion in the corridor. It also will improve capacity and safety on existing roadway networks within the Dulles south area. The project includes the construction of a new signalized intersection on Route 50, located near VDOT’s Arcola maintenance area headquarters. This new segment of Northstar Boulevard provides an alternative north/south connection to Route 50.
