ASHBURN, Va. — Some traffic may soon be coming off Route 7 in Loudoun County.

A construction project that will fill in a missing stretch of Russell Branch Parkway will begin after a groundbreaking Wednesday.

The project will fill in a few hundred feet of missing road just east of Ashburn Road and Claiborne Parkway through what is now a small stretch of woods and open space.

The connection will give some drivers a way to avoid congestion at the interchange of Route 7 and Claiborne Parkway.

The stretch of new road is scheduled to open in 2016.

It’s hard to shake up the jam-packed SUV market, but Hyundai managed to do so with the Palisade, as an extreme value play. It seats up to eight, can be equipped with almost every luxury touch and competes with SUVs costing thousands (or tens of thousands) more.
