SR 645 / Clifton Road in Clifton
State Route 612 is a secondary state highway in the U.S. state of Virginia, and traverses both Fairfax County and Prince William County. The two counties are separated by water (at this point the separation is Bull Run), so SR 612 contains a bridge that is one of only eight crossings between the counties. Because of this, SR 612 is heavily traveled during rush hour.
SR 612 uses five different names: Colchester Road, Yates Ford Road, Henderson Road, and Old Yates Ford Road in Fairfax County, and Yates Ford Road in Prince William County. There are also brief concurrencies with SR 645 (Clifton Road) and SR 641 (Chapel Road).
SR 612 begins in Fairfax County at an intersection with SR 620 (Braddock Road) at the Clifton / Fairfax border and travels through a long residential area consisting of single-family homes. It ends at an intersection with SR 641 (Chapel Road) on the Clifton / Fairfax Station border. There is a portion of southern Colchester Road that is closed, so this segment is discontinuous. Colchester Road and all other Fairfax County portions of SR 612 are 2 lane roads.
