The Loudoun County Parkway is a secondary state highway in eastern Loudoun County, Virginia. Two sections of the route currently exist, a southern portion signed as State Route 606 from Braddock Road north to Arcola Road which continues east as Old Ox Road, and a northern portion in Ashburn signed as State Route 607 from the intersection of Ryan Road and Old Ryan Road north to State Route 7. The Loudoun County Parkway is a proposed portion of the Tri-County Parkway [http://www.virginiadot.org/projects/resources/TCP%20Logical%20Termini%20Tech%20Rpt%20102302.pdf] [http://www.virginiadot.org/projects/tri-overview.asp] , itself a potential piece of the Western Transportation Corridor (WTC) of Washington, DC. [http://www.smartergrowth.net/issues/transportation/roads/outerbeltway/vaouterbeltway/wtc/index.html] The Virginia Commonwealth Transportation Board in 2001 designated the Tri-County Parkway as State Route 411, [http://www.ctb.virginia.gov/resources/ctb-minutes-06212001.pdf] which according to the 2003 Virginia Route Index would include the Loudoun County Parkway to the Dulles Greenway.

Except for two small portions around Redskins Park and between Evergreen Mills Road and Arcola Road, the parkway is either four or six lanes.

Route description

South Riding and Arcola

Loudoun County Parkway begins at Braddock Road in South Riding and continues north across U.S. Route 50. The parkway continues north along the western boundary of Washington Dulles International Airport to the intersection of Arcola Road, where it becomes Old Ox Road and continues east toward Herndon. The parkway is planned to head north from here to connect to Ryan Road in Brambleton, with construction to begin in 2008.Fact|date=October 2007 This entire section of Loudoun County Parkway was originally Old Ox Road.

Brambleton and Ashburn

Loudoun County Parkway resumes at the intersection of Ryan Road and Old Ryan Road a few miles south of the Dulles Greenway. The parkway heads north over the Greenway, and past the Verizon campus. After crossing Waxpool Road, the parkway continues north through corporate centers and Redskins Park. This section was once called Panorama Parkway.
