SR 123, along with SR 120 , was SR 25 until the 1933 renumbering and SR 9 from then until

1575-400: The project has been put on hold. Due to work on I-66 in Fairfax County to add express lanes, SR 123 north's entrance to I-66 west was temporarily changed from a loop ramp entrance to a left-turn entrance. This has been removed. VDOT also worked on reconstructing the interchange when I-66 express lanes are complete. The existing interchange was converted to a parclo-interchange for access to

1755-549: The spread-out suburbs of the Washington, D.C. area.

The south section was approved by the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors in 2012 while the north section

2025-558: Was put on hold. While work on the initial buildings on the south section started, the north section was converted to a parking lot to support the newly opened McLean station.
