On May 1st, 2026, a Groundbreaking Ceremony was held for the Route 7 & 690 Interchange Project to signify the project’s official kickoff. Representatives from Loudoun County, Shirley, Dewberry, other local officials, and the general public were in attendance.
The Project, located in Purcellville, Virginia, modifies the existing Route 690 (Hillsboro Road) overpass of the Route 7 Bypass to construct a grade-separated barbell-style interchange. Work consists of adding a new bridge over Route 7, roundabouts on either side of the bridge, acceleration/deceleration lanes at Route 7, and widening of Route 7 and its two bridges over Catoctin Creek. Project completion is scheduled for 2028.
