Loudoun County, VA – Drivers traveling through western Loudoun County are being urged to avoid a busy stretch of Route 7 today after a traffic accident forced a full roadway closure.
According to the Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office, westbound Leesburg Pike (Route 7) is closed at Raven Rocks Road due to an accident. Authorities issued the alert just moments ago, warning motorists to stay clear of the area and follow all law enforcement directions on scene.
The closure is affecting traffic near the Loudoun–Clarke County line, a corridor frequently used by commuters, delivery drivers, and travelers heading toward Winchester and the Shenandoah Valley. Drivers should expect delays and seek alternate routes while emergency crews respond and investigate.
Officials have not yet released details on the number of vehicles involved or whether any injuries have been reported. The cause of the crash also remains under investigation.
Law enforcement personnel are actively directing traffic, and motorists are urged not to attempt to bypass barricades or ignore posted closures. Route 7 is a major east–west artery in Northern Virginia, and even short-term closures can lead to significant backups during peak travel hours.
There is currently no estimated time for reopening, and drivers should plan for extended delays until the scene is fully cleared.
Residents who live nearby or regularly travel through the area are encouraged to monitor official updates from the Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office and local traffic agencies for reopening information.
