W&OD Trail – March 9 through mid-April: Temporary half-mile trail closure in Ashburn for critical safety repairs of Broad Run Bridge.
Beginning March 9, a half-mile portion of the W&OD Trail will be temporarily closed between Pacific Boulevard and Loudoun County Parkway, in Ashburn, Virginia, for critical safety repairs of Broad Run Bridge. A detour route is typically identified during trail construction; however, due to the time-sensitive nature of the repairs, a detour route has not been established.
A recent safety inspection revealed that boards on the bridge were loose and potentially hazardous to trail users. The bridge will be resurfaced over the course of 6 weeks. The work is expected to be completed and the closed portion of the trail reopened in mid-April, ahead of the trail's busy spring season. During the temporary partial closure, multiple parking options are available.
- For trail users heading east of the closure, parking remains available at the Pacific Boulevard parking lot, located at 21695 Pacific Boulevard, Ashburn, VA 20166.
- For trail users heading west of the closure, parking is available at the following locations:
- Hampshire Park /Smith Switch parking lot, located at 21315 Smith Switch Rd. Ashburn, VA 20147
- Parking lot across from Carolina Brothers Pit Barbecue, located at 20694 Ashburn Rd., Ashburn, VA 20147
- Jackpit Lane parking lot, located at 42998 Jackpit Lane, Ashburn, VA 20147
During the temporary closure, signs will be posted throughout the trail to inform trail users of the half-mile trail closure at Broad Run Bridge.
