Announcements

Repaving Hayfield Road begins August 17 and is estimated to take about a week. This is a situation where towing, at the owner’s expense, will be mandatory if any vehicle is blocking progress.

Milling and repaving of Hayfield Road is scheduled to begin Monday, August 17. This will require fully closing the lanes for each activity. This activity is similar to the way traffic has been managed during the pipe installation.

However – and please note carefully – since the milling and paving moves much faster, parking impacts may be more challenging and folks will likely need to park further away. “No Parking” signs will be installed/posted.

This is a situation where towing, at the owner’s expense, will be mandatory if any vehicle is blocking progress.

Garney estimates that this work may require about a week to complete. As always, weather or other factors may cause this work to extend.

Additional details:
“No Parking” signs will be installed Tuesday August 11. Please follow the instructions on the signs. Remember that towing at owner’s expense will be mandatory if any vehicle is blocking progress.
Monday 8/17 & Tuesday 8/18 (Half-day) – Garney’s subcontractor will overlay the south side of Hayfield Road with 2’’ surface asphalt. All interconnecting streets will also be halfway milled and get an overlay with 2’’ surface asphalt.
Tuesday 8/18 (Half-day) & Wednesday 8/19: The entire north side of the Hayfield Road will be milled and will get an overlay on these days.
Thursday 8/20 traffic loops will be installed on northbound Hayfield Road at the intersection of Telegraph Road.
Friday 8/21 all striping will be done on Hayfield Road.
We hope towing does not happen, but if your car is towed, contact Little Man Towing at phone 703-398-9300; the contact person is Mike Mullis at phone 980-207-9236.

ADA (access related to the Americans with Disabilities Act) issues should be sent in advance/now to Brendan.Schillo@fairfaxcounty.gov. (Dave Anglin, our usual contact, is out of the office during this paving process.)

The first picture (below) shows the connection under Hayfield Road just as one enters Hayfield Farm. A large concrete cover with access for maintenance was installed and then this pit was filled in and paved over. There is a metal manhole cover at the surface. This pipe now carries a good portion of the stormwater that previously ran to the connection at Luton Place.

The second picture was taken during a recent rainfall on August 4; it shows the successfully installed pipe carrying its share of stormwater on its way to Huntley Meadows, i.e., beyond the end of Hayfield Road near the Hayfield Pool.

Hayfield Road Pipe Project Update Meeting via Zoom on May 20, 2020 by John Millikin

Your Hayfield Citizens Association held its first virtual membership meeting on Wednesday May 20, 2020 at 7:30pm.  At 7:53 pm it was noted that there were 36 in attendance; eight of those were from Fairfax County or were consultants to the County. Zoom software provides an option for recording; thus you may listen to the meeting in its entirety. Project Manager Dave Anglin provided updates for the Hayfield Road Pipe Project with accompanying power point slides and answered several questions after his presentation. You can view the entire meeting by clicking on this link; you must type the required password  4t^a+89! There is limited video as everyone was advised not to show video most of the time to ensure a speedier internet connection.

Cathy Seybold welcomed everyone and Stephanie Garrison moderated the meeting. Aaron Campbell (Constituent Services – Transportation; phone 703-822-8563) represented Lee District Supervisor Rodney Lusk’s office; and Marcus Wadsworth (Transportation, Taxes and Public Works; phone 703-324-2321) represented Fairfax County Board of Supervisors Chairman Jeffrey C. McKay’s office. Dave Anglin covered these issues and more:  Vibration monitoring status; Plunge pool drainage (also see May 2020 HCA newsletter, page 11); Tree Protection Area in the medians. He reiterated that all damaged curb and sidewalks will be replaced with new and roads will be maintained during the project and re-paved completely at the end of the project.
