Leesburg Seeks Input On South King Street Interchange Improvements

Residents can discuss South King Street and Route 7/15 Bypass traffic from 7 to 8:30 p.m. Nov. 12 at Town Hall.

LEESBURG, VA — Residents can weigh in on potential improvements to the congested South King Street and Route 7/15 Bypass interchange during an open house today, Nov. 12.

The meeting runs from 7 to 8:30 p.m. in the lower-level conference rooms at Town Hall, 25 W. Market St. Residents can stop by anytime during that window.

The town is preparing an Interchange Access Report to evaluate possible changes. Officials say the existing interchange cannot handle current traffic volumes, and proposed development nearby will add more traffic.

The broader project includes interchange design and construction, along with sidewalk improvements connecting newer communities southeast of the interchange to downtown.

At the open house, the project team will explain the study and how public feedback will shape its recommendations. Attendees can submit verbal or written comments about their experiences and priorities for South King Street, the bypass and surrounding roads.
