Rural Roads & Bridges
Loudoun County is home to Virginia’s largest network of rural roads.
This committee has focused on preserving and maintaining Loudoun’s historic roads network and its historic bridges. It has worked closely with VDOT to improve maintenance of the county’s unpaved roads, and to identify new materials and methods for their upkeep. It promotes the beauty and tourism value of this hundreds of years old, 300-mile road network. It worked with VDOT and other partners to preserve the historic one-lane John Lewis Bridge on Featherbed Lane.
