Roads and Infrastructure

Kettler has built more than 30 miles (48 km) of divided highway in greater Washington DC. In Leesburg, Kettler is currently constructing a $30 million interchange to lighten traffic at Route 7 and River Creek Parkway. The new steel and concrete intersection, including a bridge over Route 7, will be completed in summer 2009. It will alleviate the most congested point along Route 7 and will serve a new mixed-use community at the Village of Leesburg. Kettler is also building a new bike path and sidewalk bridge. The privately funded interchange will be turned over to the City of Leesburg and the Virginia Department of Motor vehicles.
