As part of a joint project between George Mason University and the Fairfax County Department of Transportation,
road improvements will be made to Roanoke River Road and Braddock Road starting in July 2012.

The road improvements include (1) doubling the length of the left turn lane for east-bound Braddock Road into
Roanoke River Road onto campus; (2) widening Roanoke River Road on campus to have three lanes outbound,
a median, and two lanes into campus with a dedicated left turn lane into Lot K and a dedicated right turn lane
onto Po River Lane by the Patriot Center as the road heads toward Lots L and A; and (3) synchronizing the traffic
signal at Roanoke River Road and Braddock Road, so left turns out of campus and University Mall can be made
simultaneously to improve traffic flow on Braddock Road.

and visitors between east and west campus areas without the need to use the regional roadway system.

• Improved connectivity will also reduce the reliance on Roanoke River Road entrance.
