Route 15 and St. Claire Lane

Route 15 north of Lucketts at Saint Claire Lane is now open in both directions. The road had been closed for several hours due to downed power lines from a late-night crash.

The road was closed around 6 a.m. today. Around 8 a.m. southbound traffic was opened, and around 9 a.m. the Loudoun County Sheriff's Office announced that Route 15 is now open in both directions.
