Any Belmont Resident who tries to turn left onto Belmont Ridge from Gloucester Pkwy knows just how crazy and dangerous that intersection feels. The steep descent to the left makes it difficult to see the on-coming cars and trucks. You quietly wait until there is no traffic, hit the gas and say a little prayer.
Miraculously, in the last few weeks, trucks have arrived and digging has begun on the two corners of this intersection. The long awaited traffic light is finally here.
Loudoun County Transportation has informed me that Toll Brothers is installing the signal under a Belmont proffer. Phillip Clarke Electric was awarded the contract and estimate it will be finished in two months.

Thank goodness for that. Wonder what took Toll so long to make good on the proffer? Guess I shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth!! That left turn has to be one of the more dangerous ones in Loudoun County. Very poor planning by whoever designed and/or approved the original intersection.
