Loudoun County, VA — A crash closed part of Hillsboro Road Friday, triggering traffic disruptions and detours in western Loudoun County.
According to the Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office, Hillsboro Road is closed between Koerner Lane and Gaver Mill Road due to an accident. Authorities issued a traffic alert urging drivers to avoid the area while crews respond to the scene and manage roadway safety.
Officials did not immediately release details about how many vehicles were involved or whether injuries were reported.
The sheriff’s office said drivers may attempt to use Ashbury Church Road and Koerner Lane as alternate routes, though those roads may not be suitable for large vehicles such as tractor-trailers. Motorists traveling through the area should expect delays and consider adjusting their route until the closure is lifted.
Hillsboro Road is a key rural connector in western Loudoun County, frequently used by local commuters and agricultural traffic moving between Hillsboro, Purcellville, and surrounding communities. A closure along this stretch can quickly redirect vehicles onto smaller secondary roads.
Authorities have not yet provided an estimated timeline for reopening the roadway. Deputies and emergency crews remain on scene as the incident is addressed.
Drivers are advised to slow down near the area, follow posted detours, and allow extra travel time.
The closure may also affect students and young commuters traveling through the rural corridor during afternoon trips.
Updates will be provided as additional information becomes available from local officials.
