The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) is continuing to pave major roadways throughout the Tysons area, including a series of roads set to be paved this month.

Through the end of September, VDOT will be paving International Drive from Route 123 to the intersection of Spring Hill Road and Jones Branch Drive; VDOT will also be paving Spring Hill Road from the intersection of International Drive and Jones Branch Drive to the Dulles Toll Road interchange.

Road work is likely to cause delays in these areas from 9:30 a.m. until 3 p.m. on Monday through Thursday of each week, and from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Fridays. Police will direct traffic during intersection closures.

Be aware of the construction projects throughout town, and plan alternate routes if possible in order to avoid delays.

The road work is part of VDOT Northern Virginia's ongoing $168 million paving program in the up-and-coming Tysons area. More paving projects are expected to take place later this year, including:

Westwood Center Drive

Spring Hill Road from west of Route 7 to end of cul-de-sac

Tyspring Street

Raglan Road

The following paving projects have already been completed (or near completed) as part of the program:

Ramps at Route 7/Route 123 interchange (completed in 2014)

VDOT also noted Jones Branch Drive will not be paved this year as it runs over top of a gas line that is under construction, forcing the postponement of the paving project.

As part of its effort to make Tysons a more walkable and bike-able urban center, VDOT is also adding new bike lanes and shared lane makings on the following roads:

Greensboro Drive: From International Drive to Spring Hill Road

Westbranch Drive: From Jones Branch Drive to Westpark Drive

Westpark Drive: From International Drive to Jones Branch Drive

Park Run Drive: From Jones Branch Drive to Westpark Drive
