SR 7 stretches 72.99 miles across Northern Virginia from U.S. 11/522 (Cameron Street) in Winchester east to SR 400 (Washington Street) in Alexandria. The route constitutes a four lane highway east from Winchester across Clarke County with an expressway bypass of Berryville. A second stretch of limited access highway takes SR 7 from Purcellville to Leesburg in Loudon County.

Continuing east past Ashburn, SR 7 (Harry Byrd Highway) remains with limited access to the north end of SR 28 at Sterling, and with controlled access to Potomac View Road (SR 637) by the Loudon Campus of Northern Virginia Community College.

SR 7 continues through Fairfax County to the independent city of Falls Church, Baileys Crossroads and Shirlington. Entering the independent city of Alexandria, SR 7 lines King Street to Downtown.
