Motorists traveling on Route 7 and Route 50 in Loudoun County are seeing new road signs indicating the new names of the highways.
The renaming of Harry Byrd Highway (Route 7) to Leesburg Pike and the renaming of John Mosby Highway (Route 50) to Little River Turnpike is effective Thursday, September 28, 2023. Loudoun County has replaced approximately 75 blue rectangular signs on both highways. The Virginia Department of Transportation is expected to begin installing the larger overhead green signs in early to mid-October.
Loudoun County will provide updated address information to the U.S. Postal Service, Apple Maps, Google Maps, TomTom GPS and Waze. In addition, the updated names and addresses have been entered into the county’s Computer-Aided Dispatch (CAD) 9-1-1- system.
To assist property owners in the transition to a new address, the county has prepared a helpful checklist that is available at loudoun.gov/roadrenaming.
