Alexandria Streets Set for Makeover: Repaving and maintenance projects scheduled May 27-30

Get ready for smoother rides, Alexandria, but be prepared for some temporary adjustments.

The City of Alexandria is launching a series of street repaving and concrete maintenance projects this week, from May 27th to May 30th, affecting several key roadways. Drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians should anticipate lane closures, parking restrictions, and potential delays in the affected areas as crews work to improve the city’s infrastructure.

Repaving and Street Maintenance Update: May 27-30

The City of Alexandria’s Department of Transportation and Environmental Services is responsible for the maintenance and repair of sidewalks, alleys, and more than 561 lane miles of road. The repaving, patching, sidewalk, and alley programs reflect our commitment to maintaining this infrastructure in good condition for pedestrians, cyclists, drivers, and all users to safely travel through the City.

Businesses and residents whose streets are scheduled for repaving receive advance notice – typically by displayed project signs and/or letters. Temporary “No Parking” signs will also be posted before work begins. Please be sure to observe these signs to avoid tickets and potential towing of vehicles.

As a reminder, the Street Repaving list and schedule are subject to change. Factors that may affect work include, but are not limited to, weather conditions, equipment, other ongoing and future City projects, and utility work coordination. Planned work is promptly rescheduled when conditions improve.
