In full
On September 9, 2025, the City Council unanimously approved a construction contract to Virginia Paving Company for Fairfax Boulevard Reconstruction and Paving in the amount of $1,727,333.60. The boulevard also serves as a key geographic reference point for several ongoing and proposed projects: it marks the northern boundary of the Accotink Creek stream restoration study area (segments 5 and 6, from Fairfax Blvd to Pickett Rd), which was identified as a community-prioritized restoration site as of June 2025. It borders the Circle Gateway pre-application site at 3226–3250 Blenheim Boulevard, which was briefed to the Planning Commission in July 2026, with a September 2026 pre-application presentation noting a change from a prior concept that had included a through-connection from Blenheim to Fairfax Boulevard.
The Wilcoxon Trail Extension connectivity study, which received Council consensus in May 2026 to move forward with a feasibility study and public outreach, involves a proposed shared-use path along and crossing Fairfax Boulevard at Draper Drive as part of the alternative alignment; the segment between Fairfax Boulevard and the Wilcoxon Trail would remain unchanged under that concept. Additionally, Fairfax Boulevard intersects with Pickett Road approximately a half mile north of the Mantua Professional Center redevelopment site, and the Pickett Road Safety Audit initiated in late 2026 covers the stretch from Fairfax Boulevard to Main Street.
