VIENNA – The Virginia Department of Transportation will hold a virtual public information meeting Wednesday, Feb. 24 (if the meeting is cancelled due to inclement weather, it will be held Monday, March 8) on plans to construct bicycle and pedestrian improvements in the area of the Vienna Metro station along Country Creek Road/Virginia Center Boulevard between Sutton Road and the ramp to westbound I-66, and along Sutton Road between Blake Lane and Country Creek Road.
