An upcoming meeting at the end of October will provide an update to locals about work to repair two flood-damaged roads in McLean.
The 1300 block of Kirby Road and Swinks Mill Road by Scott’s Run closed due to severe storm damage from flash flooding in July.
Dranesville District Supervisor John Foust will host the meeting with county staff and representatives from the Virginia Department of Transporation (VDOT) on Thursday, Oct. 24.
“This meeting will still provide residents with the opportunity to learn more and speak directly with VDOT and county staff regarding specific questions,” Foust said in an email to constituents.
VDOT expects Kirby Road to reopen in mid-December. While VDOT has said it planned to have work on Swinks Mill Road done by the end of September, Foust said in an email to constituents that it is now slated to finish in early October.
The meeting is set to take place at 7 p.m. at Chesterbrook Elementary School (1753 Kirby Road).
Attendees will have the chance to ask officials questions about the progress of the repairs.
