The Fairfax County Parkway, numbered State Route 286 (SR 286, formerly SR 7100[2]), is a primary state highway in the U.S. state of Virginia, acting as an arterial route in Fairfax County with a mix of interchanges and signalized and unsignalized intersections. Its alignment runs from southeast to northwest and roughly corresponds to part of the once-proposed Outer Beltway around Washington, D.C.

SR 286 is also known as the John F. (Jack) Herrity Parkway, designated by the Virginia General Assembly in 1995,[3] and the Trooper Charles Mark Cosslett Memorial Highway, designated in 2010 as the final link through Fort Belvoir.[4] Jack Herrity served for 12 years on the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors, and was instrumental in getting the road built.[5] This name is ceremonial, and is rarely used by the public.[6]
