State Route 659, otherwise known as Belmont Ridge Road north of Arcola, and Gum Spring Road to the south, is a Virginia Department of Transportation maintained and administered road in the Washington D.C. Metropolitan Area. The road is heavily used by commuters in the suburbs and bedroom communities of Loudoun County, Virginia.
This approximately 16-mile (26 km) long north–south running road is mostly a 2 lane (a few parts are 4 lanes), but heavily traveled, connection between State Route 7 and Prince William County. The road’s actual northern terminus is the Nation Conference Center just off the shores of the Potomac River, but for all practical uses of the road the northern terminus is Route 7. The Southern terminus is State Route 234 just past the Loudoun-Prince William County border. There are two Luck Stone quarries along Route 659, one outside the community of Belmont Green just southeast of Leesburg, and another just inside the Loudoun side of the county border near Route 234. The expansion of the southern quarry led to the relocation of a portion of the route in May 2012.
