Gravel Portion of Edwards Ferry Road
The unpaved portion of Edwards Ferry Road where it intersects with River Creek Parkway in Leesburg is becoming extremely busy. I often see school buses and police cruisers maneuvering the pot-holes on this road. Residents of Lansdowne, River Creek and Potomac Falls neighborhoods also use this road to avoid route 7 traffic.
Just before you get to the unpaved portion, there is a sign with the inscription – End Town of Leesburg Maintenance. This road is slowly becoming a major thoroughfare, which arm of our government is responsible for paving this road? Is there a busy unpaved road in your neighborhood in need of attention?

This comes from the on-line Loudoun Times-Mirror, a column penned by Jim Clem dated 6/19/07 (a status report on highway infrastructure projects that affect Leesburg):
In part, he writes: "Edwards Ferry Road (CAD 03/10) - This project paves the unpaved section of Edwards Ferry Road to a Rural Rustic Road standard. Work on the environmental document continues for the two alternate alignments. When the environmental document is completed, a location and design public hearing will be scheduled. Estimated time for the completion of the document is early 2008."
I think it's already rural and rustic. Let's pave the darn road already.
I thought one of the residents on this particular stretch of road lobbied her neighbors and got VDOT to back off on paving this road... Then again, I may be confusing this with another rural, rustic gravel road.
