Fw: Important South Arlington Transportation Update

[Cynthia Palmer]

Hi everyone. Please see below... some important details that will affect bicycle riders, walkers, and other active-mobility modes using the Four Mile Run Trail.

I haven't yet had time to study the detour map, but I expect many of us will need to be taking it so please have a look!

Warmly,

Cynthia

Subject: Fw: South Arlington Transportation Update

Good morning Cynthia,

Can you please spread the word with the BAC community with this information about the Arlington Ridge Rd Bridge project?

The team is progressing to phase 1 of reconstruction, and starting on November 12, the west half will close, and all traffic will shift to the east.

Of particular note to the bike/ped community is that the Four Mile Run Trail underpass on the County side will experience three (known at this time) periods of temporary closures during key demolition activity on the bridge surface. These closures will range from 3 days to 2 weeks as needed, and they are needed to keep trail users safe. Sidewalk improvements on South Lang Street and South Glebe Road have been implemented in advance of these closures to provide a more comfortable detour around the bridge for trail users.

There will be one vehicle lane in each direction, and the east sidewalk will remain open on the bridge The Four Mile Run trail underpass on the Arlington County side will close intermittently for a few days at a time during periods of demolition work on the bridge surface; trail users will be able to detour via South Glebe Road and South Lang Street to reconnect with the Four Mile Run Trail. The Four Mile Run Park and shopping center on the City of Alexandria side will be right-in/right-out only in front of the project. About the Bridge Reconstruction Project   This is the first phase of reconstruction of the bridge, starting with reconstructing the west side of the bridge. After the first half of the bridge is rebuilt, the project will switch all traffic to the rebuilt west half to close and reconstruct the bridge. (Imagine a hot dog bun, and you work on one side first, and then the other.)   Learn more about the bridge reconstruction on the project page.   Need a refresh? Watch the project video.
