New Look for the Transitway Project Area We thank National Landing BID for their creative work to make the fencing surrounding the Transitway Extension project look good!    A Peek Behind the Curtain The project team is working on utility and street level tasks on 12th Street South (Phase 2A of the project). After this work is done, crews will build the bus stop infrastructure in the bus-only lane, and power the new signals at South Eads Street and at South Fern Street.   Looking Ahead The 12th Street South portion of the project builds on Phase 1, which was completed on Crystal Drive in 2023. When both phases are ready, the curbside lanes on the northbound side of Crystal Drive will turn into a bus-only lane. Learn more on the Transitway Extension project page. 15th Street/Clark-Bell Project on PBS Kids Look mom, we're educational! Astute viewers spotted the 15th Street/Clark-Bell Street Realignment project in the background of a PBS Kids Instagram about everyday functional text!   Construction areas are a great opportunity to highlight informational signs (functional text) to kids and a fun way to teach them to follow directions to keep them and others safe.   Right now, the functional text at the project tell drivers that South Clark Street is one-way only in the northbound direction. People walking through the area should stay out of the cordoned off work site. About the Project Currently the project is installing utilities below South Clark Street before building the new link between South Clark Street and South Bell Street, and will proceed to improvements on 14th Street South and build a shared use trail along Clark-Bell Streets between 12th Street South and 18th Street South. Learn more on the realignment project page.   Pile Driving Sounds for Long Bridge Project The Virginia Passenger Rail Authority will be conducting pile testing along the length of the Long Bridge Project on the Potomac River between Ohio Drive and the George Washington Memorial Parkway. This work will begin in March and last about four months.   What to Expect People near the project will hear intermittent loud noises during work hours. Trail users on the Mount Vernon Trail should heed all signage directing them through the project area.  Bridge Project!
