State Route 608 (SR 608) is a secondary state highway in the U.S. state of Virginia, and traverses western Fairfax County. Before the Fairfax County Parkway from US 29 to Reston was complete, SR 608 was the main north–south road in western Fairfax County.
SR 608 uses two different names: West Ox Road and Frying Pan Road.
SR 608 starts as West Ox Road at an intersection / interchange with both SR 286 (Fairfax County Parkway) and US 29. This intersection is called by roadstothefuture.com as "The most complex one on the Parkway. Also, topped the list of most accident prone intersections in the county." From its southern origin to approximately the interchange with US 50, West Ox Road is a four to six lane divided highway. For the rest of its length it is a four lane divided highway.
West Ox Road passes SR 7435, Post Forest Drive. This is an entrance to the enclave where the Fairfax County Government Center and its associated offices are. Shortly thereafter it passes SR 7700, Fair Lakes Parkway, which leads into Fair Lakes. A few blocks up on the left is the Fairfax Towne Centre.
