Travelers through Alexandria might want to steer clear of N. Henry Street in the Braddock neighborhood this weekend as a section of the road will be closed for construction work.

The 700 block of N. Henry Street — between Madison Street and Wythe Street, next to the Charles Houston Recreation Center — will be closed from 12:01 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Sunday, Feb. 4.

According to an alert from the city:

On Sunday, February 4, 2024, from 12:01 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. (21:00) (weather permitting), W.O. Grubb Crane Rental will be closing the 700 block of N. Henry Street between Madison Street and Wythe Street for a sidewalk and road closure. This closure is necessary to place cranes and trucks in the roadway to dismantle the tower crane located at 701 N. Henry Street, a result of ongoing land development construction and residential development projects. Parking will be restricted along this block during the scheduled work hours, and noise levels during early morning hours will be kept to a minimum.

Southbound traffic on N. Henry Street will be detoured along Madison Street.

Potomac Harmony is Back! Following a gap year of competing, then virtual rehearsals during the pandemic, followed by the well-earned retirement of our long-term director, a year of a director search, Potomac Harmony hit the regional contest stage in Concord, North Carolina in March for the first time since 2018! It was exhilarating, reaffirming, and rewarding!

The chorus hit all of its goals, the biggest of which was to have fun and sing our best on contest stage — we did both! Because we earned a score over 400 points, our new Director, Allison Lynskey, was awarded the Novice Director award, photo above. Additionally, one of our charter members, Jackie Bottash, was nominated for and honored with the Leadership Excellence award. It was a celebratory weekend!

What’s next? So much! We now look forward to upcoming performances, growing our membership, and expanding our musical product with new arrangements and an education component each week. It’s an exciting time to be part of this ever-growing ensemble!
