Alexandria and Arlington have been building bridges and celebrating outside the Arlandria Pizza Hut.

Leaders from both the Arlington County Board and the Alexandria City Council are scheduled to meet tomorrow (Tuesday) at the Arlandria Pizza Hut (1049 W Glebe Road) to celebrate the West Glebe Road Bridge ribbon cutting.

The ribbon cutting is scheduled to kick off at 2 p.m.

Several of the bridges between Alexandria and Arlington were in a rough state.

The West Glebe Road Bridge started undergoing repairs on the superstructure in May 2022. The bridge partially reopened to vehicle traffic earlier this year and all lanes reopened in July with work continuing on the bridge’s underside.
